How it works

Free to join, free to post, pay only when you hire

Crew build a verified profile for free and cruise lines post roles for free. A success fee applies only when a hire starts, and it's half the typical recruitment agency rate.

CruiseJobs process: crew create free profiles and cruise lines post jobs free; the platform matches them, and a success fee of 6 to 12.5 percent (half the market rate) applies only when a hire starts. Crew are never charged under MLC 2006.
