The whole cycle — from a vacancy to an interested seafarer

The task starts automatically when a vacancy is added — AI does the rest, you only approve

01

Add a vacancy

A task for the AI Inspector starts automatically when a vacancy is added on GLOAP, or with one click. Criteria come from the vacancy and your settings: rank, vessel type, DWT range, experience in contracts or months, age, start-in-rank option.

02

Searches and scores

Searches the GLOAP database (200,000+ profiles) and the external boards — CrewData, Vestnik Crewing, Maritime-Zone — if you have accounts there. Every candidate gets a 0–100 score with pluses and risks: experience on the vessel type, DWT, short contracts, company hopping, profile freshness. Offers go to those above your threshold.

03

Writes like an inspector

The seafarer receives an offer with a vacancy card on behalf of your inspector — in Telegram, WhatsApp, MAX, imo or GLOAP online chat, in the chosen language and only during working hours. AI answers questions, clarifies availability and conditions, asks for an up-to-date CV.

04

Hands off to a human

Seafarer interested? The head inspector receives a Telegram message with the seafarer's card and conversation. A question the AI cannot answer? The AI asks the head inspector in Telegram. They can either reply directly to the seafarer or provide an answer for AI. The AI passes on the inspector's answer and saves it to its knowledge base.

An inspector that never gets tired and never forgets

🎯

Selection criteria per vacancy

Set the minimum contracts or months in rank, vessel type and class, DWT range, age, and whether the candidate may start in the rank. You set the score threshold for an offer.

Contracts Months of experience DWT range Vessel type
📊

Sea service analysis

Tracks frequent moves between companies and takes suspiciously short contracts into account.

🕒

Working hours

Candidate search runs 24/7. Messages are sent only during your company's configured working hours.

🌐

Language of correspondence

Set the company's conversation language to Russian, Ukrainian or English. If a seafarer replies in another language, the AI Inspector continues in that language.

📱

Smart messenger selection

The AI Inspector contacts seafarers through messaging apps in sequence. It remembers which channels get no response and does not write there again. Once a seafarer replies in an app, the conversation continues there.

🤝

Pre-moderation and limits

You decide how much autonomy to give the AI Inspector: choose automatic replies or pre-moderation. In pre-moderation, you review every reply and decide whether to send or edit it. You can also set new-dialog limits and a do-not-contact list.

💬

Company knowledge base

Tell the AI Inspector about your company in its settings and it answers seafarers' questions about you itself: placement fee, employment type, fleet, documents, start in rank. The head inspector's answers to new questions are saved as FAQ too, and next time AI answers on its own. Asked about other vacancies, or this one did not fit their conditions — it offers another open vacancy of yours. When vacancy terms change, seafarers in open dialogs are notified.

What AI pays attention to

A 0–100 score by the rules of a crewing director, with pluses and risks for every candidate

1

Rank and experience

Looks for an exact rank match. Counts contracts or months, as specified in the vacancy. If starting in rank is allowed, it also considers the second or starting rank listed on the CV.

Example: Chief Engineer — at least 4 tanker contracts or 12 months; score threshold 84
2

Short contracts

A contract shorter than 3 months is a signal, not a verdict: if the same company has another contract, it counts as compensated (a repeat hire). In the dialog AI may ask the reason; a valid reason is recorded in the profile.

4 short contracts in a row with one company — not a minus
3

Company loyalty

Looks at the whole career: a return to a company (2+ contracts) removes the hopping question. A conclusion is drawn only with enough history — if companies are missing in the sea service, it is "not checked", not "clean".

2+ contracts with one company = return; a new company every time = risk
4

Vessel type and DWT

Experience must be on the same vessel type or its class — at least the set number of contracts. DWT is compared with the vacancy range; experience on bigger vessels is never penalised. Unknown DWT is a gap in the profile with a small minus; whether to write to such seafarers is a setting.

A bulk-carrier seafarer will not be offered a tanker — no experience, no documents

Frequently asked questions

No. AI writes on behalf of a specific inspector with the first and last name you set (e.g. "Vitalina"). The conversation uses natural language and follows the communication rules set by your company. For the seafarer it is ordinary correspondence with a crewing inspector.

The AI answers using information from the vacancy, company details and knowledge base. If it cannot answer, it tells the seafarer that it has passed the question to the head inspector, who receives a Telegram message with the conversation. The inspector can contact the seafarer and answer directly, or send the correct answer in the Telegram chat with the AI Inspector. In the latter case, the AI Inspector forwards the head inspector’s answer to the seafarer and saves it to the knowledge base so it can answer similar questions itself in the future.

The AI contacts everyone who meets the vacancy’s score threshold and passes each interested seafarer to the head inspector as replies come in. Once two or more candidates have expressed interest, further search pauses until the head inspector rejects the candidates already found.

Yes: inspector name and signature, first-message template, language, company data (placement fee, employment type, staff names), working hours, limits and score threshold. Plus a knowledge base that grows from your own answers to seafarers.

You set the schedule: hours on weekdays, work on Saturdays and Sundays, hours for external search. AI follows it strictly and never writes at night or outside your company's working hours.

From the GLOAP database — 200,000+ profiles — and from the external boards CrewData, Vestnik Crewing and Maritime-Zone if you have accounts there (the login is set in the source settings). Outdated profiles are refreshed by AI itself: it clarifies the current rank and availability, asks for a fresh CV and imports it.
