Our Methodology
How we assess candidates beyond the CV to give recruiters a fuller picture of who they're hiring.
In maritime and aviation, technical qualifications get candidates through the door — but it's their soft skills, work ethic, and personality that determine whether they thrive on board.
A CV tells you what someone has done. Our behavioural analysis helps you understand how they work.
U-Crew's behavioural scoring gives recruiters a structured, data-driven view of a candidate's working style — helping you make faster, more confident hiring decisions.
Every candidate on U-Crew is assessed across multiple data points using a structured methodology. Scores are generated from a combination of:
Structured Q&A Responses
Candidates answer scenario-based questions about their working preferences, communication style, and approach to common on-board situations.
CV Language Analysis
Natural language processing extracts behavioural signals from how candidates describe their experience — identifying patterns in communication style, initiative, and professionalism.
Behavioural Indicators
Candidates are scored across 13 key indicators including reliability, teamwork, adaptability, attention to detail, communication, leadership potential, work ethic, stress management, guest focus, and professionalism.
Job-Specific Matching
Qualifications, certifications, and experience are compared against the specific requirements of each role to generate a tailored match score.
Score 1
Measures soft skills, work style, and personality traits. Generated from up to 13 behavioural indicators assessed through questionnaire responses and CV analysis.
Score 2
Measures how well a candidate's qualifications, experience, and certifications align with the specific requirements of a role.
Each candidate is assessed across these core areas, specifically chosen for their relevance to maritime and aviation crew roles. Every indicator is scored as a percentage so recruiters can instantly compare strengths and identify areas to explore during interview.

Behavioural scores are designed to supplement — not replace — your recruitment process. They provide an additional data point to help you prioritise candidates and structure interviews. We always recommend combining these insights with CV review, interviews, and reference checks before making a hiring decision.
