Applying for an Offshore Job? Tips for a Faster Application Process

1. Keep Your Profile Up to Date

If you already have an OffshoreCrew profile, make sure it includes your latest:

• CV
• Certificates
• Licences
• Appraisals or letters of recommendations (where available)
• Other relevant documentation

An up-to-date profile makes it easier for our recruiters to match you with suitable opportunities.

2. Keep Your References Up to Date

Please make sure your references are up to date and include people who can speak about your recent experience and performance.

Before listing someone as a reference, ensure they have agreed to act as your reference and are aware that they may be contacted by OffshoreCrew.

3. Apply Through the Job Advertisement

Whenever possible, apply directly through the Apply Now button in the relevant job advertisement. This ensures your application is linked to the correct vacancy and reaches the right recruiter.

4. Sending Your Application by Email

If you are applying without an OffshoreCrew profile, we recommend sending your CV and certificates in your initial email.

If we require additional documentation, please send it as PDF attachments, preferably one file per certificate or document.

5. Avoid Automated CV Services and File-Sharing Links

To help ensure your application reaches our recruiters, please avoid sending applications through automated CV distribution services.

Likewise, avoid sharing documents through Google Drive, Dropbox or other file-sharing services. Instead, attach your documents as PDF files (preferably one file per certificate).

Our spam filters are designed to block large volumes of automated and irrelevant applications. Applications submitted through automated services or containing external file-sharing links are therefore more likely to be filtered, which may also affect the delivery of future emails from the same sender.

Thank you for helping us make the recruitment process more efficient. By keeping your profile up to date, maintaining relevant references, and following these simple application guidelines, you help us review your application faster and match you with suitable opportunities.

We look forward to receiving your application.
