Crew Recruitment Procedure at Evara Ship Management:

1. Advertising the Job Openings and Collaborations

We post job vacancies on our website, industry job boards, recruitment agencies, or maritime forums. We also partner with maritime academies, training centers, or agencies to recruit qualified candidates globally.

2. Sourcing and Shortlisting Candidates

We screen applicants’ resumes (CVs) and qualifications to ensure they meet the job requirements. Pre-screening includes phone interviews or skills tests to narrow down the list of potential candidates.

3. Interviews and Selection

Shortlisted candidates are invited for interviews, which can be conducted in person, via phone, or through video calls. Candidates are assessed on their technical maritime knowledge and experience, and psychometric tests are conducted to ensure a good fit with the company culture and the high-pressure environment at sea.

4. Verification of Credentials

A background check is performed to ensure no criminal history, especially if the position involves significant responsibilities or security-sensitive roles.

5. Medical Examination

A medical checkup is mandatory to ensure the candidate is physically fit to work on board.

6. Signing Contracts and Documentation

Once selected, the crew member is offered a contract that outlines employment terms, salary, duties, and conditions.

7. Onboarding and Orientation

The crew is introduced to the company’s policies, safety protocols, and operational procedures. They may also receive safety training specific to the vessel and its operations. If the crew member is joining an existing ship, they may go through a familiarization program with the ship’s layout, emergency procedures, and onboard practices.

8. Deployment, Travel Arrangements, and Embarkation

We arrange travel to the vessel’s location. Our in-house travel team specializes in marine ticketing to ensure seamless experience.

9. Monitoring, Performance Management, and Crew Rotation

We monitor the performance of the crew through regular assessments or feedback from the vessel’s officers and managers. Management level officers are placed on rotating schedules, and the recruitment process continues with re-engagement for future trips. We gather feedback from the crew about their experiences improving recruitment and training for future crew members.
