Recruitments - Approve Seafarer
Once you’ve created a Recruitment, you’ll need to approve or reject the candidates who have applied to your job. Seafarers who you approve will be added to your database so you can hire them at a later date, if needed.
To do this, go to your Recruitments page and click on a vessel type to go to that Recruitment Pipeline:

The Pipeline looks like this. Our example has 2 seafarer candidates.

The first stage is always Awaiting and the last is always Recruited. The stages in between will be whatever stages you set in that Pipeline i.e. Negotiation, Document Validation, Visa etc.
Here you can:
- See the name and status of all candidates: Pending, Approved or Rejected.
- See the Pipeline stages for this Recruitment at the top. - click on them to see which seafarers, if any, are at that stage.
- See who this stage has been assigned to and how many people are watching it. (More on this below.)
- Click on a seafarer to view their details on the right and approve them for that stage by clicking Approve This Stage, or reject them by clicking Reject.
- Add a new candidate by clicking the Add Seafarer button.
- See what the job advert looks like on Martide's website by clicking the square and arrow next to the word Recruitment at the top.
When you click Approve This Stage you'll see a green notification saying Stage approved, the candidate's status will change to Accepted and they will move to the next stage in the Pipeline:

Click on the next stage - i.e. Document Validation - to enter the required information for that stage: and to continue approving or rejecting the candidate.
When you've completed all the stages in, the last stage is Recruited. Approve the candidate to add them to the database.
A note about Users and Watchers
The person you assign a Pipeline Stage to could be one of your company's users or one of your Vessel Custom Contacts. When a Stage is assigned to someone, they will get aNotification and if they need to take action, it will be added to their My Tasks page.
If someone is a Watcher they will be kept up-to-date via their Notifications but they don't need to do anything.
