Crew recruitment: looking for members or a crew

What the recruitment page shows, how your crew appears there and how to invite members directly by their handle.

Published 4 Nov 2026, 13:01

Recruitment lists every crew that's looking for new members right now. A crew appears there automatically as soon as it's open or taking applications and has free seats. There's no separate sign-up or fee for this.

As a player: finding a recruiting crew

Each card shows who the crew is looking for. You can search by name, tag or slug and filter by platform and language. Crews that updated their profile most recently are listed higher up. The card takes you to the crew's profile, where you join straight away or apply, see Find and join a crew.

As crew leadership: appearing in recruitment

As owner or crew admin, open the crew profile.
Set the join mode to “Open” or “Application”.
Set the member limit so that seats are free. You choose the limit within the platform maximum.
Under “Who are you looking for?”, describe in up to 500 characters who you want, for example platform, play style or playing times.
Save the profile. In “Application” mode you can also add up to eight application questions.

Your crew drops out of recruitment automatically when every seat is taken, you switch to “Closed” or the platform restricts the crew. It stays visible in the crew directory as long as it isn't restricted.

Inviting members directly

If you already know someone, invite them directly. This works in every join mode and is the only way into a closed crew.

As owner, crew admin or officer, open Invitations.
Enter the person's handle and choose Invite.
The person is notified and accepts or declines. You can withdraw open invitations from the list.

Good to know

An invitation can only be accepted by someone who isn't in another crew, and only while a seat is free.
“Who are you looking for?” is public. Don't ask for private data there.
Promoting your crew doesn't belong in comments or chats en masse. Under the community guidelines, repeated self-promotion counts as spam.
