Clyde Marine Recruitment use a digital system called Ankaa to securely gather, manage and share your information with our clients in order to help you in your role. There are two different apps available – Ankaa (previously known as Ankaa Recruiter) and Ankaa Marine.

Ankaa, is where you create a Digital Profile containing personal information, documents and certificates, past assignments (work history) and Next of Kin details. All this information helps to create a profile which we share with potential employers when you are shortlisted for a job. Not only is it faster to apply for jobs using the digital profile, our recruiters can see all your information quickly and share with our clients easily.

Once hired, if you are deployed by Clyde Marine Recruitment, then we automatically copy your profile over to Ankaa Marine. This is the employee app and where we send payslips digitally to your profile. You will need to download Ankaa Marine to view your payslips, they are not available in your Ankaa Recruiter profile.

With decades of experience in the maritime industry, we understand exactly what companies need to know about prospective candidates. We also know the challenges seafarers face in keeping their paperwork and CVs up to date so we have tried to make it easier all round!

For Candidates – Our digital profile focuses on gathering the essential information to help you secure your next job. Once completed, your profile can be updated by you at anytime. The more comprehensive your digital profile the better your chances of securing that next role! Additional features include Certificate Expiry Alerts, Sea Service Analytics and a range of services curated for seafarers.

For Companies – Digital profiles streamline the hiring process by presenting candidate information in a clear, easy-to-digest format, making it simple for Hiring Managers to find the key details quickly. Hiring Managers receive a secure, password-protected link to access the profile, which expires after viewing, ensuring your data remains safe, confidential, and fully GDPR-compliant.

We only accept Digital Profile applications and no longer accept unsolicited CVs via email. Please upload your CV into your digital profile as a Job application document.

To stand out from the crowd we highly recommend you take time to complete your profile in full, paying particular attention to:

• Primary Rank – so we can search for you in the system
• Past Assignments – as this is what our Recruitment Consultants will review to assess your experience
• Documents – if you don’t include all your documentation you may not be able to apply. Our clients often set minimum requirements for the job which your profile must meet in order to apply.

SWITCH TO THE NEW APP IN 3 EASY STEPS

1. DOWNLOAD – The new Ankaa App is now available for download from your preferred app store.

Each job listing has specific minimum requirements that depend on your documents to match in the system. If your documents are not filed correctly, you will not be able to apply for the job.

What do we mean by filing documents?

You must assign the correct Type and Sub Type to each document.

For example, an ENG1 should be filed as:

• Type: Medical Document
• Sub Type: Seafarers Medical Examination

An example of how NOT to file your ENG1 would be:

• Type: Medical Document
• Sub Type: Other
• If your documents are incorrectly listed then the system will not recognise them, and you will find the apply button is not active so you can’t apply for jobs.

If you are unsure of how to file your documents please check out the Document Filing Help guide here.

You can download a copy of this guide to print at home here.

Yes please! We removed the old filing cabinets and shredded all confidential information, so if you have not yet registered online then we no longer have any of your details.

Once you have created your digital profile it’s a simple case of keeping it up to date. So if you have registered with us at any time before Digital Profiles began we ask that you re-register. Thank you!

It will take you around an hour to set up a Digital Profile with all your certificates uploaded and detailed past assignments. Once registered your Digital Profile will be easy to maintain, and much quicker than updating and sending your CV each time.

It is helpful if you have all your documents including certificates, passport ID and discharge book to hand as you update your profile.

Don’t worry if you can’t complete it in one go – click save and your progress will be saved for next time.

If using a laptop or tablet you might find it easier to log into the website Jobs Portal, but if using a mobile you’ll find it easier with the Ankaa App.

We know that prospective employers are most interested in the description of your past assignments. Provide information about each past assignment to make you stand out. We recommend including the following for each entry:

• What was the ship?
• If you worked in the Engine department tell us about the Engine – what did you do, what challenges were there?
• What was your cargo?

• What challenges did you face?
