Hello
I'm part of the SelectMyTalent team. I'll try to offer some information. Hope it's helpful.
The company was set up by pilots for pilots. We have all been through redundancies and know what it's like. We've been working in aviation assessment and recruitment for over a decade.
Aim of the company is simple, to get pilots back into work. But we also want to do it as effectively and efficiently as possible and hopefully with an experience that Pilots actually enjoy.
The company functions in 2 ways:
Traditional - wait for a vacancy to be advertised and then apply. If shortlisted, you will be assessed free of charge and then recommended to the Operator depending on performance.
Proactively - Pilots can pay for an assessment day. If they meet the standard required they join our talent pool and then we promote their profile to the relevant Operators within our network. Effectively one assessment that is then used to access multiple opportunities. Importantly, this is done at cost. I.e. There is no profit made from the Pilots, EVER! The components are Gate 2: aptitude test, video interview, feedback session (£99), Gate 3: assessment day - Sim check, Interview, Team Assessment, Psychological Analysis, Feedback session (£499). We would love to do this for free, but would quickly become insolvent. We've worked really hard to price this as lean as possible. If you add up the components I'd be hopeful you can see the value but I'm confident once you've completed the process you definitely will.
The good news is companies are recruiting. We placed 8 pilots last week with an executive jet operator. We've got some exciting opportunities coming up, and we're seeing some really positive trends with many AOCs looking at their recruitment plans again.
Hopefully, the website explains everything else in greater detail.
