The recruitment platform built for the people behind every yacht.

A-Z Yachting needed more than a jobs page. Orbit570 designed and developed a two-sided recruitment platform that helps crew discover opportunities, helps employers find qualified candidates, and gives the agency the tools to manage the relationship from vacancy to placement.

2 User Roles

Crew and employers operate through one connected recruitment platform.

End-to-End Placement

The platform connects job publishing, candidate tracking, matching, communication, verification, and recruiter-led placement.

A recruitment platform for an industry where the right match matters.

A-Z Yachting connects experienced crew with private and charter yachts worldwide. Orbit570 structured the platform around the way yacht recruitment actually works, combining searchable opportunities, candidate profiles, employer workflows, direct communication, and agency-led screening.

What Recruiters Were Fighting

What Orbit570 built

01

Managing yacht vacancies through generic job-board workflows

Industry-specific job listings with structured roles, requirements, and application paths

02

Keeping candidate experience, certifications, and documents organised

Centralised candidate profiles with searchable and verifiable recruitment data

03

Matching suitable crew to the right yacht and role

A structured matching workflow based on experience, certifications, preferences, and vacancy requirements 

04

Keeping candidates, employers, and recruiters informed

Real-time notifications, job alerts, messaging, and application updates built into the platform

Recruitment workflows designed around the yacht industry.

The platform connects job publishing, candidate data, verification, matching, communication, and administration so the agency can manage recruitment as one operating system.

Custom Job Listings

Recruiters can publish structured yacht vacancies with industry-specific roles, requirements, details, and application paths, helping candidates find and understand the right opportunities.

Centralised Candidate Tracking

Candidate profiles, applications, documents, notes, and communication stay connected in one searchable workspace, giving recruiters a clear view of progress.

Intelligent Candidate Matching

The platform compares role requirements with experience, certifications, preferences, and verified information, helping recruiters build relevant shortlists with confidence.

Role-Based Dashboards

Employers, recruiters, and administrators receive role-specific views and permissions, keeping recruitment tools focused while protecting unrelated information.

Document Verification

Certifications and licences can be reviewed within the recruitment workflow, with expiry information available for follow-up and stronger candidate evidence.

Real-Time Alerts and Notifications

Job alerts and platform notifications keep users updated on matching roles, applications, messages, and actions, so important opportunities do not depend on repeated checking.

Recruitment Communication Suite

Recruiters can manage outreach, personalised messages, and candidate correspondence alongside each vacancy, keeping communication connected to the recruitment record.

Analytics and Employer Profiles

Reporting monitors recruitment activity while branded employer pages present companies and open positions consistently, supporting visibility and candidate attraction.

Rich Text Content Management

Recruiters and administrators can create formatted vacancy, company, guidance, and recruitment content, keeping information current without rebuilding page layouts.

Typography and colour

Inter and an eight-colour palette unify the platform, with deep navy and teal creating a clear maritime identity across every user experience.

Inter

Display

Discover your perfect crew.

Experts in precise crew placements. Weight does the work a second family would otherwise do, so headings stay in the same voice as the interface.

Inter

BODY AND INTERFACE

Connecting committed team members with premier prospects.

Body runs 16px regular. Section labels step up to 600 and small caps, and the teal is reserved for those labels and the calls to action, so it never competes with the navy.

Deep navy – primary

#001524

Ink navy – dark base

#21748E

Steel blue – secondary

#33C0C9

Teal – accent

Layer 03

Recruiter operating workspace

Recruiters can publish jobs, track candidates, review matches, communicate with applicants, monitor alerts, and manage activity from one operational environment.

  • Candidate pipeline
  • Matching workflow
  • Communication and notifications
Layer 04

Placement relationships that continue

The platform keeps candidates, employers, recruiters, documents, messages, alerts, and placement activity connected beyond the initial application.
