What is wrong with putting some info out there so that a better informed candidate might actually apply or have many of the NT companies gone back to the hostile way it was a few years ago?
Ummmm..... everything is wrong with this approach on occasion.
When you DO put your company name and number in there the phone DOES NOT STOP RINGING for weeks. It would seem that EVERYONE that rings is the most qualified and the best man for the job and that by speaking to the CFI / CP themselves they are assured the job. The CP has better things to do than suss out tyre kickers.
It's not always best, trust me!
Oh I think I am more than qualified to ask the question as it stands (and still does). As to he phone ringing off the hook for weeks and weeks with prospective candidates for a CP position, well it doesn't - full stop. For starters a CP does not conduct CP interviews, unless of course the CP is also the owner.
I'll put it out there again, and perhaps make it a little easier to understand XXX, that a CP of a charter operation is usually required by CASA to show exposure/endorsement and competence in the largest (or most complex) machine that the company operates, hence the info for the candidate so that they may well decide if (for whatever reason they are not endorsed or do not wish to be) on a certain type they might well have the opportunity to decide that for themselves.
There are other issues as well, where the position will be based, the reputation of the company in the industry etc. These all effect the calibre of the candidate you'll find applying for the position. IMHO in this instance the company in the advertisement has severely limited its applicants by the omission of relevant information.
Over to you XXX.
