Our pro-active approach to sourcing means that in a dynamic and rapidly changing Pilot recruitment market, we are reaching out, and creating real conversations with the Pilots that you want to hire.

On top of this, our tried and tested approach to candidate attraction, plus our proven marketing strategies means we are constantly finding new people to who we can promote you as an employer of choice.

The Pilot Survey

We initiated the first global Pilot survey in collaboration with FlightGlobal in 2019. We compiled this unique report to establish and highlight trends from a Pilot’s perspective. We use this annual survey to uncover trends in employment, careers, reward, confidence, stress and the attractiveness of the profession.
