YotPost is Live: What Captains Need to Know
After months of development and feedback from captains across the Med and Caribbean seasons, YotPost is officially live. If you hire yacht crew, here's what you need to know.
Posting Jobs Is Free — For Now
During beta, every employer hiring feature is available at no cost. Post unlimited jobs, receive unlimited applications, share complete job postings, and manage candidates from the full dashboard. No credit card required, no trial limit.
We're doing this because we want captains to experience the full platform before we introduce pricing. After beta, employer job postings cost €50 each. Crew accounts remain free.
How It Works
1. Create your job posting. Define the role, rank, vessel type, and any custom questions you want applicants to answer. The form takes under five minutes.
2. Share the link. Every job gets a unique job posting link. Copy it and send it through any recruitment channel you choose. Candidates can review the role before signing in or applying directly, while your personal details stay anonymous.
3. Manage applications. All applications land in your dashboard. Filter by status (Submitted, Shortlisted, Rejected), review CVs with one click, and send interview requests with pre-filled templates. No more scrolling through Facebook comments or losing WhatsApp messages.
What's New Since Beta
Based on feedback from our beta captains, we've shipped several improvements:
- Auto-flag missing requirements: The system now highlights when a candidate is missing required certificates or skills, saving you review time.
- Automated reference checks: Integrated with CrewRef, you can request digitally verifiable references directly from the dashboard — no more emailing referees.
- Confidential listings: Need to hire discreetly? You can now post jobs without revealing the vessel name or your identity.
- Mobile optimization: The entire platform works smoothly on phone browsers, whether you're in port or at anchor.
Who Is YotPost For?
YotPost is built for captains and yacht managers who handle their own hiring. If you're already posting in Facebook groups and managing applications through WhatsApp and spreadsheets, YotPost is the tool you didn't know you needed.
It's also for smaller agencies that don't have their own applicant tracking infrastructure. You can use YotPost to manage your placements without building a custom system.
Getting Started
