You don't need to go through an agency for SXS: The link in English is here:

Apparently, McGinley make it clear on their advert for SXS that the contract is a reducing bond over 2 years, in addition to the training costs not being refunded if you leave within 2 years, there is a penalty to pay based on salary, not sure how this works and they were not giving any clues either. McGinley principle grassland is Ryanair and one assumes they want a constant feed pool of pilots to retain that " special relationship" As highlighted, it is the " pilot's integrity and wallet" that will suffer if they choose a company change within the contracted period and the agencies coffers that swell as a result. 2 years will be about 1700 hrs, not a bad figure for the portfolio if non-rated and at least with SXS you know the base from day one and they pay the hotel and transport during training period, unlike the "other lot" Sadly, these days everyone is out to make a quick buck and job stability comes a poor second..
