  • Certificate expiry tracking

    Record each certificate once and get a reminder before it runs out.

For employers

Build your next maritime team with confidence.

Experience, credentials and availability in one place, each certificate showing how far it has been checked — and the whole hire kept on one platform.

  • Shortlist

    Mark the candidates you want to take forward and keep the rest of the pipeline in view.

  • Role-based comparison

    Applicants for each job ranked by fit, with anything that blocks the hire shown next to the score.

  • Document status

    See whether each professional certificate is valid, expiring or expired, and how far it has been checked.

  • Interviews and shared scorecards

    Propose interview times, let the candidate pick one, and score every candidate on the same role-specific form.

  • Offer and joining tracking

    Make the offer on the platform, then record whether the candidate joined on the agreed date.

  • Team permissionsIn development

    Invite colleagues with roles that decide who can act on a candidate.

For employers

Every applicant for a job, side by side.

This is the comparison view an employer gets for a job: fit layer by layer, how far each certificate has been checked and when each candidate is available — never names, contact details or medical certificates.

  1. Fit, layer by layer

    Every applicant is assessed across four layers, and any unmet requirement is listed on its own.

  2. Certificate status at a glance

    Each certificate shows its validity and how far it has been verified, from declared to issuer-verified.

  3. Availability in one view

    See who can join now, who is available from a given month and who is employed but open to offers.

Fictional candidates. Reference codes, certificates and dates are made up to show the layout; nothing here is read from the platform.

What you get

  • Know which certificates are valid and which need renewing.

    Every certificate date in one place, with anything due in the next 90 days flagged before it runs out.

  • Explore opportunities across the maritime industry.

    Superyacht, cruise, merchant and shore-based jobs from one profile — no starting over for each move.

  • Your identity and files stay private until a hire is confirmed.

    Employers see your professional profile under a reference code. Your name, contact details and files open only when a hire is confirmed on the platform.

  • Understand why a role fits — and what is missing.

    Each job shows which requirements your profile meets, which it does not and which have not been checked yet — before you apply.

  • Compare candidates with clearer evidence.

    Employers see how far each certificate has been checked, side by side, without names or contact details.

How it works

One profile, one point of consent.

Three steps, each opened by the one before it. No unsolicited messages and no disclosure without your consent.

  1. 01

    Build your profile once

    Your positions, sea time and certificates with their dates, saved step by step. Stop at any point and continue when you are back in signal range.

  2. 02

    Appear in the pool with your identity hidden

    Employers see a reference code and your professional profile — role, sea time, certificates and availability — never your name or contact details.

  3. 03

    Apply, and only that employer sees your file

    Only an employer you have applied to, or whose contact request you accepted, sees your full work history and certificates. Your name and contact details follow only after a confirmed hire.

Why seafarers pay nothing

No fees or other charges for recruitment or placement shall be borne, directly or indirectly, by the seafarer.

Certificates, fit and access, tracked in one place.

Certificate nearing expiry? Flagged 90 days in advance.

Unsure whether a role fits? Explained in four layers.

  • Your identity stays yours

    Employers see your professional profile under a reference code. Your name, phone number and contact details reach an employer only after a hire is confirmed on the platform — hidden details are never sent to the employer.

  • Know where you stand before you apply

    Every job shows what your profile meets, what is missing and what has not been checked yet. A missing mandatory document is always listed on its own. Medical certificates never enter an employer's view of your fit.

  • Renew certificates before they lapse

    Anything due within 90 days is flagged amber and anything expired red, with a reminder in your dashboard — so a lapsed certificate does not surprise you at the next joining date.

  • Only conversations you started

    Messages open only through your application or a contact request you accepted, always about a specific job. No unsolicited messages; withdraw and the conversation closes.

  • Checks that say what they cover

    Every check names what SeaTalent looked at and when: a company's registration and authorised contact, an uploaded file, a reviewer's comparison, a confirmation from the issuing authority, a call to a referee. Until a company is checked, its jobs are not published and it sees only limited candidate details.

  • Never pay to find work

    No membership, no priority listing, no paid applications. MLC 2006 prohibits charging seafarers for recruitment or placement.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

The questions seafarers and employers ask most.

Is there a fee for seafarers?

No. Building a profile, recording certificates, applying to jobs and messaging employers are free for seafarers. MLC 2006 and Turkish Law No. 4904 prohibit charging seafarers for recruitment or placement.

Can my current employer see my profile?

Your name and contact details stay hidden until a hire is confirmed on the platform, and vessel names are shown only to employers you have applied to or whose invitation you accepted. We do not claim you are untraceable — in a small sector a detailed profile can narrow you down, so keep that in mind when you write your summary.

When do my name and phone number become visible?

Only after a hire is confirmed on the platform by both you and the employer. Applying to a job or accepting a contact request opens your work history and certificates to that one employer, not your identity.

Who can see my CV?

An employer you have applied to, or whose contact request you accepted, receives an anonymised SeaTalent CV generated by the platform under your reference code. Files you upload stay with you, and the full SeaTalent CV with your name is shared only after a confirmed hire. Withdrawing consent stops further sharing from that moment on; it cannot pull back a CV that has already been downloaded.

How does SeaTalent check employers, documents and references?

Every check says what was looked at and when — never just "verified". Employer verified: SeaTalent checked the company's registration and an authorised contact; it says nothing about any candidate. Document uploaded: a file is on the profile; nobody has checked its content. Document reviewed: a SeaTalent reviewer compared the file with the details the seafarer entered; it does not confirm the record with the issuing authority. Issuer verified: a reviewer confirmed the certificate with the issuing authority by hand, and the date and method are shown. Reference checked: a reviewer spoke to the referee and recorded the outcome; employers only ever see a confirmed check. Checks on certificates and references happen only when the seafarer asks, they are free, and medical certificates are never reviewed or shown to employers. An AI reading a document is not a verification: no automated reading ever appears as a check.

What happens when a certificate expires?

Your dashboard shows a warning 90 days before the expiry date. An expired mandatory certificate lowers your fit score for a job, and the colour coding shows which document needs attention.

Which sectors are covered?

Superyacht, cruise, merchant shipping and shore-based roles. Charter, gulet and day-boat work sits within the superyacht sector. One profile covers every one of them.

Can I delete my account and my data?

Yes. You can withdraw your consent and delete your account from your account settings at any time. Access, correction and deletion requests under Turkish data protection law (KVKK) are handled through a separate channel.
