Recruitment Process
It seems to me a lot of companies are recruiting on the basis of who would make a good conversationalist on the flight deck, who would they like to sit beside for hours!
I mean come on! Have we really been training for years and spent thousands in cash to be sat around a table building a balloon sculpture whilst HR decides our fate? It is crazy.
Aldi & ASDA do this, I cant see Doctors or Lawyers doing it, so which bracket are we in?
What happened to taking a candidate's background, skills & experience into consideration? Surely a well qualified but introvert candidate who's been working years towards the goal, would make a better Pilot than someone who can tell a good story and have a 'laugh'?
Has the industry really lowered itself to this level or is it another case of HR taking over companies? How is HR more qualified than an experienced Pilot to route out a candidate?
I know some will be in favour of this type of process and argue it shows team skills- hm really?
