Human Resources
The League is hands and hulls before it is anything else. Human Resources crews the divisions — recruiting, vetting, clearing, and developing the people who carry the ocean's mandate. We hold the roster, the clearances, and the discipline that keeps a clandestine fleet a fleet and not a mob.
The People Function
HR owns the lifecycle of every member of the League — from first contact through clearance, deployment, development, and, when it comes, disengagement. We are the keepers of the roster and the call-sign register, and we are accountable to Legal & Ethics for the integrity of every clearance we grant. The work is procedural by design: in a fleet that operates outside the law, who we let aboard is the first line of defense.
Clearance & Onboarding Pipeline
Every new hand moves through a fixed pipeline before they touch an operation. The steps are logged to NEREID and counter-signed by HR and the receiving division. The full intake procedure and TIDEWATER tier definitions are held in Onboarding & Clearance.
- Contact & sponsorship. A current member sponsors the candidate; HR opens a confidential file under a provisional handle.
- Vetting & background. Intelligence & Dispatch runs an integrity and exposure review. No file proceeds without it.
- Clearance assignment. A TIDEWATER tier is set to the role, not the person — least-privilege by default.
- Call-sign issue. The member is entered in the call-sign register and bound to their division roster.
- Academy induction. Track assignment and core certification through the Training Academy.
- Doctrine attestation. Signed acknowledgment of the Intervention Doctrine and TIDEWATER handling rules before first deployment.
Training Tie-In
HR does not develop people in isolation. Every role family maps to a curriculum track and a certification ladder run by the Training Academy, mapped role-by-role in the Training Matrix. Onboarding, recertification, and promotion all reference the same catalogue, so a member's record and their readiness are never out of step.
