How to Create a Job Vacancy

We make maritime recruitment free! Here's how to post a job on Martide.

Note: There are two ways to post a seafarer job on Martide: Assignments & Recruitments. The difference is:

Assignments: you hire a seafarer for a contract on a set date.
Recruitments: you collect candidates and add them to the database so you can hire them in the future.
