Addressing Maritime Challenges

The maritime industry is undergoing notable changes, marked by workforce shortages, outdated recruitment methods, fragmented career paths, and a scarcity of comprehensive educational resources. With the demand for Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW) certified professionals on the rise, the need for innovative solutions is more pressing than ever before. By leveraging Hedera’s DLT, Seaplify is poised to tackle these challenges head-on.

At the heart of Seaplify’s mission is the creation of a unified digital platform that simplifies education and community engagement, while modernizing and optimizing recruitment processes and career development within the maritime sector. By utilizing Hedera’s advanced DLT, Seaplify ensures a fast, secure, and cost-effective reward distribution system, which amplifies the potential for professional growth and industry efficiency.

One of the primary goals of Seaplify is to improve recruitment efficiency by utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced filters to streamline the process of finding and hiring qualified candidates. This not only reduces time and costs for companies but also ensures a more seamless experience for job seekers. Moreover, by offering global reach through digital job postings, Seaplify surpasses traditional localized methods, expanding job opportunities for maritime professionals worldwide.

Seaplify goes beyond recruitment to focus on aiding career development within the maritime sector. By providing access to a vast digital library and fostering community support, the platform facilitates continuous learning and progression for maritime professionals. Features like ‘Profile Recommendations’ and ‘Headhunting’ ensure better job-candidate matching, leading to increased job satisfaction and reduced turnover rates.

Furthermore, Seaplify’s job analytics offer valuable data to companies, enabling them to make informed decisions and improve their recruitment strategies. This data-driven approach enhances efficiency and effectiveness in talent acquisition, ultimately driving industry-wide improvements.

Seaplify’s Position as a Tech Trailblazer in the Maritime Sector

This collaboration reinforces Seaplify’s position as a tech trailblazer within the sector, poised to revolutionize maritime employment practices and foster a more integrated and technologically advanced maritime sector.

This development comes shortly after Hedera collaborated with EQTY Lab to build a solution for AI companies, enabling them to track the characteristics of Large Language Models (LLMs) and provide transparency on how they are trained and function.
