Our Story

Innovating Maritime Recruitment

A few years ago, our founder, Adam van der Veer, recognized the intense pressures faced by maritime recruiters.

This vision led to the creation of Sterndesk—a platform designed to automate and simplify the complexities of maritime hiring. Today, our dedicated team continues to innovate, ensuring that Sterndesk remains at the forefront of recruitment technology.
