The fact leads to a refuse of using the web-sites sharing users' personal data with anyone. Among such web sites: online CVs databases, simple job boards with possibility of e-mailing a CV, maritime sites which sale personal data and an access to CV databases, scam and copycats web-sites pretending to be large systems, social networks and others.

But as it's well known only the Internet is the best and effective way of job search for today. On the other hand Employers are also using the unlimited possibilities and perspectives of using the Internet in everyday work, the old methods are not so widely used for now. But it always takes a lot of working time to find any useful information among the different online data, especially to get a proof of their actuality.  It becomes not reasonable to spend this time for manual sorting of the information in the modern informational world. 
Crewell solves the problems for both sides!
