For the coming years KLM expects the need to recruit around 80-100 new pilots a year to cover retirements. The flight school produces around 60 a year which means that roughly 20-40 external hires will be needed annually.
Obviously it’ll fluctuate a bit year to year. In slow years they might not need any external recruitment, and in other years when they’re scrambling to get their crewing levels to where they should be it could be a lot more.
As for when the assessments will start I’m not sure. The vacancy is open till the beginning of March and then they’ll need to process everything so I would guess around late spring/early summer…
