I registered with the Flightcrew.aero website............ no reply whatsoever.
I also notice that there is a proliferation of 'Pilot recruitment Agencies' lately, Flightcrew.aero, Virtual Human resources, Flightinfo.biz etc etc. all of whom are leaping onto the bandwagon.
Having worked for several of the 'major' agencies before, without many problems I must say, I would suggest to all pilots thinking about accepting jobs from these new guys that it is worth speaking to them before you make any decisions or most importantly any payments to them. Find out if they are 'real' and have 'real' offices not just a bedsit in Surbiton!
Find out what their processes for running their businesses are, which clients they have worked with before (especially as they probably won't tell you who they are emplying for now), and make an informed judgement then, as to whether they are likely to be in business long enough to pay you.
It is very easy to set up a 'recruitment' company on line, but it is extremely difficult to run a 'real' one. Most of these companies rely on cash flow from clients to pay their employees, and have absolutley no back up when it comes to failed payments. Caution on your part is vital.
Whilst the PARC's, Contractair's and Rishworth's of this world have and have had problems, at least they have been around a long time and will be there long enough for us to get the money out of them (even if needing to go to court to get it)... something which may not be true for these 'new' players.
It is also very obvious that all the agencies will advertise vacancies that are not 'signed off' to get their databases topped off....simply ask for a contract copy (being very willing to sign it of course!!!!!), and see what you get. You don't have to sign anything that you do get, but at least you will see who is willing to put their money where their mouths are!
Just my thoughts.
