pilotcareers.aero interviews
Hello guys, i just received an email which invited me to a selection process for one of pilotscarrers.aero customers.
Do any of you guys had any experience with them? Do they charge you for the interview?
All i know is that the interview will take place on a 737 simulator in Nuremberg
Any feedback will be appreciated, thank you!

I have received the same email from this company.
The selection process costs you 950 euros plus travel to and from the assessment location and any food and accommodation charges while you are there.
If you pass the selection (tech paper, interview and sim check) you will enter their pool of crew to be recommended to airlines if the airline approaches them (they are an agency) and you fit the candidate profile (age, gender, nationality, flying hours etc) that the airline want.
So the job is not already there but you will be ready if a suitable position comes up (assuming you pass the selection).

I also received that email.
They charge 1184 € (not including transport/hotel) for a 2 days assessment in either 737 in Nuremberg or Prague. I call it BS, I don't know any airline/agency which charge that amount for an interview/assessment. And there is no mention for which airline they are hiring or contract condition, who knows it might even be for a p2f airline.
Seems way expensive just to be in their "database" without knowing for which airlines they work.

I also received an email from them last week.
The above email came with 4 attachments.
Two documents which were both simulator briefings along with sim plates.
One document with info. about pilotcareers.aero This was very vague
And the last one, the best one! A fax sheet where one fills in info like, which sim you want to attend, date, other personal details AND, credit card details to pay 1,184.05€ for the assessment!
I'm desperate but not this desperate,
off.
Also, who has a fax machine nowadays?!

I just had someone from pilot careers on the phone. He was not very clear about how many peoples found a job after the assessment. How many company they are working with. I think it is just another way to do money...

Got a phone call as well on tuesday, he wasn't very clear about the airline, how many jobs are open and whatever. It's really sad to see how things are going, looks like young pilots are walking wallets.

In case of anyone getting scammed, means paid money but never was offered a job.
It is a german company and according german law you can sue them for employment, or compensation, as they offered employment "Pilotcareers.aero hiring NOW".
Furthermore they will have to refund all your cost traveling to and from the assessment and your accommodation. German law requires a potential employer to clearly state that he is not going to reimburse those costs, otherwise they are liable to.
Get a german lawyer in case they don't pay.
