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.
