The maritime industry moves 90% of global trade, yet its workforce management is stuck in the past—slow hiring, outdated systems, and disconnected professionals. That’s where The Hood comes in. For the first time, maritime workforce community can enjoy a social media app designed exclusively for them, without the influence of aggressive algorithm, tactics to keep them scrolling mindlessly through irrelevant and sometimes even harmful content.
The Hood is user-centric, first of all. Professionals can join group, share experiences, and build meaningful connections with the Hood timeline or via instant messaging and video call feature. Within one app, they can also access news, training courses, mentorship, career guidance, and welfare support, fostering ongoing participation.
Unlike LinkedIn or traditional job boards, The Hood isn’t just about job listings—it’s a fully integrated ecosystem where seafarers, recruiters, and maritime businesses engage, grow, and streamline operations.
Imagine a future where maritime hiring works like airport check-ins—no paperwork, no back-and-forth emails, just a QR code containing all candidate information for seamless verification. Recruiters and applicants can also communicate directly within the app, ensuring a smooth hiring process from application to onboarding, contract renewal, and career progression.
The Hood is creating the future of maritime workforce management by eliminating inefficiencies, reducing hiring friction, and driving industry-wide connectivity. The market is demanding change, and we deliver it.
