If you are facing any issues getting your old profile on to the app please follow this guide which may resolve the issue!

After decades working in the maritime industry it’s safe to say that we have a comprehensive understanding of what companies need, and want, to know about prospective candidates.

We also know seafarers, and the huge amount of admin required to keep all your paperwork and CV up to date. Let’s not forget the dilemmas of the personal statement – should you include your love of reading, keeping fit and watching movies, or that you like to travel round animal sanctuaries and cuddle tigers? Probably not.

• FOR CANDIDATES
  The digital profile eradicates the need for unnecessary information and focuses your efforts on what information is the most important to secure that next job. You can leave the Tiger Cuddling out of it. Once you have created your profile and added all the relevant information your profile is ready to be sent to Hiring Managers and can be updated on the go!
  There are lots of additional benefits including Certificate Expiry Alerts, Sea Service Analytics
• FOR COMPANIES
  The digital profiles provide information on shortlisted candidates packaged in an easy to digest format for the Hiring Managers.  They get sent a link to view your profile, which is password protected and expires after they view it, so they don’t hold your personal data. It’s completely GDPR compliant and keeps your information safe and secure.

We only accept Digital Profile applications and no longer accept unsolicited CVs.  Don’t worry, it won’t take you long to set one up and then it’ll save you so much time in the long run.  Click on Register now.

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 assess you on
• Documents – if you don’t include all your documentation you may not be able to apply, as we set minimum requirements for each job vacancy

Each job advertised has set minimum requirements for the role, these requirements relate directly to your documents.  If you have not ‘filed’ the documents correctly then you will not be able to apply for the job. Don’t worry, 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 do not 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.

• Personal Details including phone, email and address
• Education, remember that Hiring Managers will see your profile so include relevant education

It is important to add as much information as possible: department, rank, vessel name, vessel type, flag and a description about journeys, ships, cargo, challenges etc. Finally add your dates in and you’re good! If you are working on a rotational assignment we have a handy section that will help you manage rotational assignments without having to input the same details each time.

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?
• Where did you sail?
• What challenges did you face?
• What did you learn?
• Onboard Services: What areas of customer service did you work? How many passengers did you look after?
