One entry — everywhere
- The vacancy is entered once — in the website admin or in your software.

- A bot posts it to your Telegram channel; a Facebook post is ready in one click.
- Once filled, it is removed from the site and marked in the channel.
What you gain
Vacancies go out faster than competitors’, seafarers only see live positions and a manager spends a minute instead of half an hour.
What I do
I build the vacancy page and online application form, a Telegram bot for your channel and post templates. I have built more than 15 crewing websites.

FAQ
Questions and answers
How much does it cost?
A crewing website is from 150 GEL; the bot and auto-posting I quote after seeing your channels, before any work.
We already have a website. Can you add just vacancies?
Yes: I connect a vacancy page and auto-posting to your site if it allows, or build a separate section.
