Product Sneak peek: Transparent Seafarers Pool View 👨✈️ 🚢
Have you ever dreamt of working with a manning agent who would give you access to their whole free pool (aka seafarers that are not locked in a principal’s pool)? Seafair makes it happen!
Principals who use our full manning service can now see a real-time, transparent representation of the 300K seafarers in our free pool for a specific vacancy. This view shows how seafarers rank in terms of quality & salary, to help principals objectively understand if the seafarer’s requirements are fair based on current market conditions.
Check the video above to see how this works!☝️
This is the first time that a manning agency shares transparently a view of available seafarers with clients, and is aligned with Seafair’s vision of building a more fair & transparent crewing.
