For recruiters: the Crew HQ Assistant shortlists the best crew for your job

Post a job and, before you have finished your coffee, have a ranked shortlist of crew who fit it, with the reason for each.

How it works

  1. Post your job as usual. Paste the full job specification into the description, or upload it as a PDF or DOCX on the job page.
  2. The assistant reads it and works out the role, the qualifications, the region and the experience you are asking for.
  3. It searches the active crew profiles for people with a fitting job title who are looking for work.
  4. It gives you up to ten, best first, each with a fit figure and one sentence saying why.

The whole thing takes about fifteen seconds. The first time you open a job you have just posted, it starts by itself.

A shortlist of matching crew under a job, each with a fit percentage and a reason. Sample data.

The crew in this picture are sample data, not real members.

What it judges on

Role, qualifications, experience, where the crew member is, availability, languages and how recently they were active on Crew HQ. When it compares candidates the assistant is not shown their name, nationality, gender, age or photo.

It only considers crew whose profile is active and set to looking for work. Crew who have hidden their profile are never included.

A sharper match with a job specification

A two-line advert gives the assistant two lines to work with. Upload the full specification and it matches on everything in it. The file is read once for the match and is not kept.

The crew are told too

Each crew member on your shortlist gets one email saying a job on Crew HQ matches their profile, with a link to it. So the best candidates hear about your job the day you post it. Nobody is sent more than one of these emails a week.

It is a starting point

The shortlist is the assistant's reading of the profiles. Open each profile, read the references and make your own call. Run "Match again" whenever you change the job.

Who can use it

Job matching is part of Professional Membership, along with full crew profiles, CV downloads and direct contact.
