It then moves on to state:
We gladly invite you to fill in the form below. After receiving your application, as Unique representative will contact you for an interview/conversation. The fields marked with a * are obligatory.

Achternaam (last name)

Then there’s a statement that they assume you are being truthful and that if it is later in the employment process shown that you are not they have the right to end the employment/application process. The Unique agency is handling the application process for Transavia, and your information will be sent to them. Your personal information is confidential, and will only be used for this application. And then a check box that you understand the above.

Hope this helps :)

Yes you can apply on the website, as this is a dutch airline you will have to speak dutch. the selection process is also fully in dutch. I always here positive things about them.
but it's a seasonal contract and the pay is not great.
