Context 

Please provide a brief overview of the company and your situation as it pertains to the specifics of your experience with the broader challenge identified above. 

• Argosy Cruises provides tourists with a new take on city sightseeing, from the water! We provide 1- and 2-hour tours around the bay as well as longer charters for private parties. It can be very hard to find places/sites to recruit from. Sites that are specific to maritime industry and hospitality. We are willing to train employees so no experience necessary.  

Pilot Requirements 

Please describe your ideal solution to the challenge identified above. If you don’t know if this exists, that is okay.   Specifics of your organization's needs go here, including timeline implications for the project. 

• We would love to figure out a way to get hospitality and maritime jobs posted in one place or find a way to make it easier to find candidates who want jobs in maritime.  

• Maybe reverse of job postings but candidates can post, and we can look through them. Something like that.
