How to Scan Your Seafarer CV and Documents & CV

A guide to help seafarers scan their CV and documents to fill out their Martide profile more quickly and easily.

On your Martide profile page, you can scan your seafarer documents and CV. Scanning your documents is quicker than uploading them because our A.I. feature fills in the document information (numbers, issuing country, dates etc.) for you.

When you scan your CV, the A.I. takes the data and fills out your profile for you.

This makes it much quicker and easier to upload your documents and fill out your profile – and find a job!

How to Scan Your Documents

When you're logged in to your Martide account, click My Profile on the left. On your profile page there is a Scan Documents button:

Click the Scan documents button and you will go to the Document Scanner page:

Drag and drop or click the Browse File button to upload the documents you want to scan from your computer.

The document must be one of the following formats: PDF, PNG, JPG, JPEG, DOC, DOCX

The document will appear below:

Click the Scan Documents button. You should then see this:

You now need to review your document.

How to Review Your Scanned Document

Because our A.I. has extracted the data from your document, it's a good idea to review it to make sure everything looks okay.

  • Preview the document on the right side of the page. Click the four arrows in the corner to expand the document for easier viewing.

  • Review all the complete information on the left side of the page to ensure it’s correct.

  • Fill in anything that is missing.

Click the Save and Continue button at the bottom when you’re done. You will go back to your profile page.

Scroll down to the section that your document relates to. In this case, we uploaded a Medical Insurance document:

How to Scan Your CV or Resume

Still in your seafarer profile, go to the Work Experience section:

Click the Scan CV button. The process is exactly the same as the one described above to scan documents. When your CV is uploaded, you will see this:

If you've already filled out some information in your profile, the A.I. will detect it and if it's different in any way from the info extracted from the CV, you will need to:

  • Confirm whether you want to use the info that is already in the profile or use the scanned data.

  • Add any information that is missing.

  • Click Next at the bottom of the page and it will take you to Work Experience. Do the same here and click Next to go to Personal Attributes.

When you get to the end, if you've missed anything, for example, if you've forgotten to check a box to confirm whether you're using scanned or existing info, you will see this:

We have 12 problems to resolve. Go back through the CV and correct them. (A draft version has been saved, so you won't lose anything you've already done.)

When you've finished click the Save & Update Profile button. The info from the CV will be saved into your profile:
