About Flightdeck Recruitment
How Flightdeck Recruitment works
Here is a brief description of how our service brings together crew and recruiters:
Crew registration • Recruiter registration • Searching for Crew • Crew Shortlist • Job vacancies • Speculative applications • Accuracy of data
Crew registration
Qualified pilots, flight engineers and other prospective aviation employees can register on our database by clicking on the Account Setup link and completing the registration form. Crew type ratings, hours, and other qualifications (but not personal or contact data) become immediately available to users of the crew search engine.
To see full details of pilot or FE job vacancies crew need to upgrade their accounts to become members of the Flightdeck Club. This is a subscription service. For full details of the benefits and subscription fees see our Services & Pricing page.
Recruiter registration
Aviation recruiters can register with FlightdeckRecruitment.com by clicking on the Account Setup link and completing the registration form. Registration allows recruiters to:
• Search for suitable crew
• Add interesting crewmembers into their Crew Shortlist
• Save their crew search criteria
• Purchase the contact details of crewmembers that they may wish to contact
directly
• Post unlimited numbers of job vacancies onto our Job Vacancies Board
• Receive applications by email from interested crew
• Accept speculative applications to their company
• Check the availability and interest of shortlisted crewmembers
• Purchase blocks of crewmember credits in advance at discounted prices
After completing the registration form, the recruiters account is automatically activated. However, for data security purposes and to prevent fraudulent activity we need to be able to verify that they are bona fide aviation recruiters. We aim to verify all new recruiter accounts within as short a time as possible, but until we have verified the account, recruiters are not able to purchase services via credit or debit card and their job postings are not visible to our crew members.
Searching for crewmembers
Flightdeck Recruitment offers aviation recruiters the ability to quickly and easily find the contact details for suitably qualified flight deck crew, and to avoid, where possible, the expense and hassle of using traditional recruitment options.
The procedure for obtaining crewmember contact details (+ CV/resumé if available) using Flightdeck Recruitment is as follows:
- Recruiter uses search engine to get a list of crewmembers with the required type ratings
- Select those crewmembers whose contact details you would like to purchase
- Add chosen crewmember to Basket or buy Crew Credit Discount Package - Services & Pricing
- Checkout to purchase contact details using secure credit card transaction (Payment by invoice available by request)
- Recruiter granted access to chosen crewmembers' contact details
- Recruiter then free to contact crewmembers directly for normal, company recruitment procedures
Crew Shortlist
The Crew Shortlist is a recruiter's 'shopping basket' of interesting crew. It allows recruiters to easily keep track of crewmembers who may be of interest for future employment. Crewmembers who have been added to the Shortlist will remain in the Shortlist unless you choose to remove them. You can add some crewmembers one day, then come back again the next day, week or even month and the crewmembers you selected selected previously will automatically be remembered.
It is from the Shortlist that you select those crew members whose contact details you would like to purchase.
Job vacancies
Registered recruiters can post details of their job vacancies onto our Job Vacancies boards.
Pilot and Flight Engineer jobs board
Basic Job Postings - Basic details of the job listings on our Pilot & FE jobs board are available to all registered crewmembers. Full details of the jobs listed are only available to members of the Flightdeck Club. Club members can also apply to suitable jobs
Paid Postings - Recruiters can upgrade their job postings to Paid Postings. This allows all suitably qualified, registered crew members to apply to this position. For more details about Paid Postings see our Services & Pricing page.
Featured Postings - Recruiters can upgrade their job postings to Featured Postings which offer the advantages of Paid Postings but also give increased the job postings increased prominence on our jobs board. For more details about Featured Postings see our Services & Pricing page.
Non-cockpit jobs board
Positions for cabin crew, aircraft maintenance, ground engineers, ground handlers, airline office staff or any other aviation related position can be posted on our Non-Cockpit jobs board. All registered users of flightdeckrecruitment.com can see full details of the job listings and send applications.
Speculative applications
Sometimes you may not have a specific job vacancy but would be interested to receive speculative applications from crewmembers. If you would be happy to receive speculative applications from crew you can simply specify this when you complete your registration form or update your registered details.
If your position changes at any time in the future you can simply update your registration details and de-select the 'Accept speculative applications' option.
Accuracy of crewmember data
We do not prequalify or check the qualifications or contact details of our registered crew. The time and difficulty involved in carrying out suitable checks would greatly increase the cost of the service.
We periodically issue reminders to crewmembers to keep their details up to date, and if they fail to update their details on a regular basis their details will be removed from our database to ensure we maintain the accuracy of our data.
If any crewmember contact or experience details obtained through FlightdeckRecruitment.com prove to be so inaccurate as to prevent possible employment we will be happy to issue a full refund for the purchase of those details.
