I thought this might pop up on here and I'd just like to say, since we have been asked to source Captains for them as well, is that my company does not dictate their salary levels.
We are not an agency who pay the Captain's salaries and we work with what we are given (info only - not budget). My company is a traditional recruitment firm and we find people for our client to hire (how they do that is up to them).
I have gone back to them stating the figures are very low and am awaiting a response.
It is frustrating and as I wrote before, I have relayed this to them.
We work with airlines and aviation companies globally in providing traditional recruitment services. We provide the interested applicants, they decide and hire. If they hire, they pay us a fee. With pilot & cabin crew recruitment, it is not a fee based on percentage of salary, rather a fixed fee per successful placement. This has no impact on what pilots are paid as we are not a contract crewing agency.
I just wanted to put this out there before someone then starts slating my firm. We have placed quite a few people with this airline in various roles (not just flight crew) so whilst we don't decide what people are paid, we do give them feedback. However, it is up to them what they do and not us.
Whilst writing this, I just received another e-mail from them that at this point, salaries are still to be confirmed so hopefully will improve.
