Great Lakes Maritime Careers Review With Pricing, Alternatives, and FAQs

Review:

Great Lakes Maritime Careers is partnered with Military to Maritime, and so provides information for both the U.S. and Canadian maritime industries. While the UX design is intuitive and simple to navigate, the site focuses on providing more information on the maritime industry, its certifications, and the unions within this group.

The site itself lacks a lot of basic information, such as pricing and any additional resources for employers, including featured listings, a resume database, applicant tracking software, or social media promotion. However, it is a useful resource for getting your vacancies in front of a niche job market.

Pros:

• Great Lakes Maritime Careers features information for both the U.S. and Canadian workforce.
• The site features descriptions of the different maritime positions, links to certification requirements, and union information.
• The job posting process is simple.
• There is a French information page.

Cons:

• Job seekers cannot apply directly on the site, but must follow instructions provided by the employer.
• While it seems to be free to post a job on the site, there is no information about pricing available.
• There are no additional tools for candidate matching, visibility, or applicant tracking.
• There is no resume database.
• While there is a French information page, the site itself is not available in French.
