A maritime recruitment platform connecting seafarers with employers through job listings, guided applications, and fit-score matching. Backed by a Node.js and PostgreSQL API.

Maritime recruitment requires more specialized workflows than a conventional job board because seafarers often need to maintain professional profiles, certificates, supporting documents, vessel experience, and role-specific applications. Recruiters also need structured candidate information, application management, document visibility, and efficient screening tools to reduce manual recruitment effort. A specialized maritime recruitment platform can connect qualified seafarers with employers while improving the organization and speed of the hiring process.
We built Direct Search Global as a specialized maritime recruitment platform using Next.js, React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. The platform gives seafarers a structured environment for creating professional profiles, searching maritime vacancies, uploading certificates, preparing tailored cover letters, and tracking applications. Recruiters can manage job listings and applications while reviewing organized candidate information and fit-score insights. The Node.js REST API, PostgreSQL database, cloud document storage, role-based workflows, and automated Brevo email notifications provide a scalable foundation for digital maritime recruitment and workforce management.
