Assignments - FAQ

What’s the difference between Assignments and Recruitments? 

There are two similar pages in Martide: Assignments and Recruitments. The difference is: 

  • Assignments: job vacancies when you need to hire a seafarer for a contract on a set date. 
  • Recruitments: add seafarers to the database so you can hire them in the future. 

Why is there a missing interview stage in an Assignment? 

First, check the Pipeline's Settings to see if the interview stage has been created. Second, create a new Assignment because Pipeline changes are not reflected in Assignments or Recruitments that have already been created. 

Who are assigned Users and Watchers? 

When you’ve added a seafarer candidate to an Assignment and are in its pipeline, you can assign Users and Watchers

  • The person you assign a Pipeline Stage to can be one of your company's users, a client, a Manning Agent, or one of your Custom Contacts. Assigned users need to take action.  
  • When a Stage is assigned to someone, they will get a Notification and if they need to take action, it will be added to theirMy Tasks page
  • If someone is a Watcher they will be kept up-to-date via their Notifications but don't need to do anything.
