As previously stated by another member, of the 8000 applications, I suspect many are in the "not qualified" bracket. I went to an easyjet roadshow day recently, and was very disappointed. They only had three people representing the company, stating they did not expect so many people to turn up, (around 300 at 10.00am!). I find this an astonishing oversight on their part given the level of unemployment in the market at present. In the question and answer session that followed the presentation, many people queried the online application process, in particular the lack of replies. I myself know of many good pilots, many of them type rated, who have been rejected by easyjet. In this market, and given the alleged 8000 strong database, they surely have the pick of the bunch, which is why I am still curious as to why they feel the need to run recruitment roadshows. The very fact that they have seemingly rejected some very good operators, would seem to suggest that maybe they should take a good look at their recruitment process, which it has to be said seems to be failing them.
