If you need to take your company off CrewFinder, the Delete Listing action is at the very bottom of the Profile tab, in the red Danger Zone section. This article explains exactly what it does, what it doesn't do, and who's allowed to use it.
Primary owner only
Only the primary owner (the person who originally claimed the listing) can delete it. Team members you've added see the Danger Zone but will see a note telling them to contact the primary owner instead.
Before you delete, consider the alternatives
Deleting is rarely the right first step. Most of the reasons people reach for it are better solved another way:
- Selling the company or changing hands? Transfer primary ownership to the new person instead. Email support@crewfinder.info with both email addresses and we'll handle it.
- Wrong company claimed? See I Claimed the Wrong Company. What Now? — we can reassign the claim without deleting the listing.
- Winding down temporarily? Close all your active job postings and strip back your services. Your profile will stay live but won't actively attract operators. No deletion needed.
- Want to hide the listing without deleting? Email us — we can set the listing to private while you sort things out.
How to delete your listing
Open the Profile tab
From your manage dashboard, click Profile and scroll all the way to the bottom, past the Gallery section.
Find the Danger Zone
It's a red-bordered box titled “Danger Zone”. If you see a note saying only the primary owner can delete, you don't have permission — contact the primary owner for your listing.
Click "Delete Listing..."
A confirmation form appears. No changes have been made yet.
Type your company name to confirm
You need to type your exact company name in the confirmation box. This is a safety check so you can't delete by accident.
Click Delete Listing
Your listing is removed from search results, the map, and the job board immediately. You'll be redirected to the homepage.
What happens when you delete
Deletion is designed to be reversible for a grace period, in case you change your mind or hit the button by accident.
- Your public profile stops loading (visitors get a Not Found page).
- Your pin is removed from the map.
- You stop appearing in any search results.
- Your active job postings are hidden from the job board.
- Your inquiry inbox is no longer reachable.
- Your team members lose access to the manage dashboard for this listing.
You have 30 days to undo it
Within 30 days of deletion, we can restore the listing exactly as it was — profile, team members, jobs, inquiries, everything. After 30 days, the data is permanently removed and can't be recovered.
Recovering a deleted listing
To restore a listing within the 30-day window, email support@crewfinder.info from the primary-owner email. Include:
- Your company name
- The profile URL, if you remember it
- A short note confirming you'd like the listing restored
We'll usually have it back up within one business day.
After 30 days
Once the 30-day window passes, everything tied to the listing is permanently deleted: your profile content, photos, certifications, job postings, and inquiry history. Your company may reappear on CrewFinder later (we also maintain a public directory of companies that haven't been claimed), but it won't contain any of your previous customisations.
Deleting your listing vs. your account
Deleting a listing removes one company from CrewFinder. Your sign-in account itself is untouched — you can still sign in and, for example, claim a different listing. If you want to remove your personal account entirely, see How Do I Delete My Account?.
Security notes
- Only the signed-in primary owner can delete. Team members can't.
- The type-to-confirm step prevents accidental or automated deletions.
- We log deletions internally — if there's ever a dispute, we can see who triggered it and when.
