Nope. Rooster will always be free for crew. No fees. No sneaky subscriptions. Just good gigs.

Keep it short (30–40 seconds), clear, and confident. Say your name, your role, your experience, and something that shows who you are. No need for drone shots — just you, looking tidy and sounding switched on.

That’s fine. Everyone starts somewhere. Just be upfront about your experience (or lack of it), show you're eager to learn, and bring a good attitude.

Upload a clean CV, a sharp video, and stay active. Keep your availability up to date, respond when we message, and please don’t ghost us. Trust us, we notice.

Yes — once your profile and video are live, you can apply with one click.

No need. If you're active, responsive, and have a solid profile, you're already on our radar. Enthusiasm is great. Desperation... less so.

Update them now. No boat wants to chase crew for paperwork. And we won't send you to one if you're not ready.
