Rooster makes recruitment smarter, faster, and more human — real people, real profiles, done right.

We combine some modern video tech with old-school people skills (real humans who know the industry). No fluff. No endless email threads. Just good people, on good boats.
Once we draw up a job spec from you, you’ll receive a clean, private email with the rundown of each candidate and a link to their profile. Each candidate comes with a video intro, CV, references, and availability. No login. No faff. Just click and hire.
Of course. We’ll always try to meet your brief. Whether you want a kiwi deckhand with sail experience or a multilingual stew who makes a killer coffee, we’ve got someone great for you.
Yes – every crew member is spoken to, screened, and reviewed before they land in your inbox. We check documents, dig into experience, and don’t send you any fluff.
Call us, message us, send a flare – we’ll get moving ASAP.
We operate on a simple placement fee model – no hidden extras, no ongoing charges. For permanent roles, it’s a one-time fee. For temporary crew, we offer a discount. Transparent and straightforward. Get in touch and we can share our T&Cs.
We get it – sometimes it’s not the right fit. We offer a replacement guarantee for permanent placements (terms apply, naturally), and we’re always happy to step in and sort things out.
In some cases, minutes. We’ve got a live database of ready-to-go crew. For trickier roles, we’ll still move faster than most. The more info you give us, the better we can target.
You don’t have to – but you’ll want to. They’re quick, easy to view, and cut through the waffle. You’ll know in 30 seconds if someone’s got the vibe you're after.
Please do. We have teams in Europe, and New Zealand and love an old-fashioned chat. We’re not hiding behind email chains – if you want some good people on your boat, we’re on it.
