It’s time to reduce maritime hiring pressure

“A few years ago, I was surprised to discover that working under high pressure was the norm in the maritime recruitment industry. As an engineer I knew technology could help, so together with my team I created Sterndesk - a software tool with AI features that significantly reduces manual work by automatically analyzing, gathering, and organizing the information recruiters receive from seafarers. The result? Recruiters find qualified candidates faster, send higher quality proposals, and experience reduced work pressure. With Sterndesk, we make the job of a maritime recruiter easier and more effective"
