Jobbing pirate (more commonly jobber) is a temporary position in a crew. Jobbing pirates apply for a position on a ship (usually one that is pillaging, although sometimes ships are trading and compensate jobbers for help moving commodities) via the Notice Board. At the end of a pillage, crew officers or above will often invite jobbing pirates to become permanent members of the crew. Crews do almost all of their recruiting in this way, as only players who are first jobbing pirates can permanently join a crew.
