Recruitment Agencies
Hi Everybody,
since the crisis began most jobs on offer go through a recruitment agency. The ones of us with no permanent job are so to say at their mercy.
Dealing with this for more than a year, I started wondering about some aspects of this business. So I would like to ask the pprune community:
Can you help me with some answers to the following questions?
1.) Why are so many agencies recruiting for the same jobs? There must be more than 5 agencies offering contracts with Korean for example? Why would an airline want to work with multiple recruiters?
2.) Who is defining the requirement for the jobs on offer? Is it the airline or the recruiter or both? Unfortunately the requirements seem to be so standardized that you only have a chance to get a good contract if you have a certain experience profile. Abilities apparently don't really matter, it's just the xxx hours on type and so on.
3.) What is your opinion: are these recruiters good for us pilots, and/or the airline?
I feel that they are making it harder, I would so much prefer to talk to an airline directly.
