You want to hire a team that already works.
Crewed gives you access to crews — teams that have been together long enough to have real chemistry, real trust, real coordination. You hire the team, not four individuals you hope will get along.
Here's how to get started.
Step 1: Sign up
Sign up at mycrewed.com. Quick form: company name, industry, your contact info. Takes a few minutes.
After signup, fill out your employer profile. This is what crews see when you reach out. Treat it like a company brand page — logo, description, website, location, what kind of work you do. A complete profile gets responses. An empty one gets ignored.
Step 2: Post your first listing
Click "Post a Listing" on your dashboard. The form asks for:
- Job title — be specific. "Server" is fine. "Server, evening shifts at coastal restaurant" is better.
- Industry — pick the closest match. This is how crews filter to find your role.
- Modality — on-site, remote, or hybrid. Required field.
- Location — city + state if on-site or hybrid. Crews filter by distance, so location matters.
- Pay range — be honest. A low or vague range gets ignored. Most crews check pay before reading the rest.
- Description — what the job actually is, what you're looking for in a crew, what makes the role appealing.
You can post multiple listings. Each one is its own thing. Match listings to actual openings, not theoretical ones.
Step 3: Receive applications
Once your listing is live, crews can apply. You'll see applications on your dashboard with a few key signals:
- The crew's profile (members, photos, bios)
- Their chemistry profile (how they operate)
- The application note (why they think they fit)
- Any prior engagement history they've completed on Crewed
Read the applications. The crews that take time to write a real application note — explaining why their crew fits your specific job — are usually the ones worth interviewing.
Step 4: Review crews carefully
Crewed's chemistry profile is unique to this platform. It's not a personality test for one person — it's an aggregated chemistry graph for the whole crew, showing how they operate together. Read it. Compare it to your culture. A crew with great individual resumes but mismatched chemistry will struggle. A crew with average resumes but excellent chemistry often outperforms.
You can't see crew member contact info or names of crews still hidden. Crewed protects crew privacy until both sides have engaged.
Step 5: Schedule interviews
When you find a crew worth talking to, schedule an interview through Crewed. Four options:
- Group chat — text-based interview through the in-app chat. Good for first contact, low-pressure.
- Zoom — video call. You provide the link. Good for cultural fit; lets you see the team's dynamic.
- Phone — voice call. Quick, no scheduling overhead.
- In-person — for local crews, when you want to see them work or have them visit your space.
You can schedule multiple interview rounds with the same crew across different formats. A first Zoom with the leader, then an in-person with the whole team. Crewed tracks all of it.
You can also schedule a leader-only interview before bringing the whole crew in. Useful for discussing pay, scope, or strategy without committing the whole team's time upfront.
Step 6: Make the call
After interviews, you have two paths:
Hire the crew. Click "Mark as Hired" on the application. This opens the engagement form: type (permanent, recurring, project, etc.), dates, and pay structure.
For pay, you have two options:
- Per-member rates — most common for ongoing employment. Enter a rate for each member. Each member sees their own rate only. The crew leader doesn't see other members' rates.
- Single crew rate — for project work where the crew bills as a unit. Enter one number. The leader handles distribution off-platform.
Once you submit, the engagement is "proposed." The crew leader reviews and accepts (or counters). When both sides confirm, the engagement is active.
Decline the crew. Just close the application. The crew sees the application as no-longer-active. Be respectful — leave a short note if you can.
Step 7: Run the engagement
Once an engagement is active, Crewed steps out of the way. You handle:
- Payroll — each member is paid by you, the employer. For most engagements, this is W-2 employment, run through your standard HR processes.
- Onboarding — your existing onboarding flow applies. Crewed doesn't replace this.
- Day-to-day management — same as any other team you employ.
Crewed doesn't mediate. It introduced you, then got out of the way.
You can mark engagements as "completed" when the work ends. The crew gets credit on their profile. You can also mark engagements as "cancelled" if something falls apart.
A few things worth knowing
Crewed is matchmaking, not employment. You're the employer. The crew works for you. Crewed has no contractual relationship with your hires.
You can negotiate pay openly. Crewed doesn't enforce any rate structure. The pay you enter on the engagement is your record of what you committed to. If pay changes later, update the engagement (or work it out off-platform).
Re-hiring is encouraged. If a crew worked out, hire them again for the next opening. Same crew, new engagement. Crewed tracks this — the crew's profile shows their engagement history with you and others.
Multiple engagements with the same crew are fine. A crew might do a project for you, then later become a recurring rotation. Each is its own engagement.
