What we do here at Oceanworks
Oceanworks is an all-in-one platform for the placement of freelancers in offshore jobs. We connect Freelancers, Agents, and Service Providers in one streamlined workflow—no more email chains, lost CVs, or version chaos. Founded in 2025 and built digitally, we’re focused on making offshore recruitment fast, transparent, and easy for everyone involved.
Our mission
Make offshore recruitment work simple.
We exist to remove friction from the way offshore talent gets matched, vetted, and placed—so opportunities move faster, decisions are clearer, and great people end up on great projects. The offshore recruitment process still runs on inboxes and attachments. Agents chase updates. Service Providers compare mismatched CVs. Freelancers wait in the dark. We built OceanWorks to replace email-driven placement with a shared system of record—so each step is trackable, consistent, and faster.

Our values
The principles that shape every workflow and feature, and what guides us in our decisions that support your business.
- Clarity first
- We keep everything simple and explicit—no jargon, no guesswork. Roles, requirements, and decisions are structured and searchable so everyone knows what’s next. Clear information means faster, fairer outcomes for all sides.
- Respect for time
- Busywork is our enemy. OceanWorks automates the repetitive steps and highlights what truly needs human judgment, so agents, freelancers, and service providers can move from “sent” to “decided” without the drag.
- Trust through visibility
- When everyone can see the same status, the same profile, and the same decision history, trust follows naturally. We replace private email chains with a shared record that keeps conversations honest and expectations aligned.
- Continuous improvement
- We ship, learn, and refine in tight loops. Feedback from real usage shapes our roadmap, and we treat every release as a chance to reduce friction and raise the bar for offshore recruitment.
