how many have bailed in the last week

if we can get back to the question which was raised a few posts ago by PMS,

has this hastened the number of controllers there pulling up stumps? surely those on the ground there are would be aware.

I see that another advert by Serco for controllers in ORBI has appeared so I guess that probably gives another clue.

I see they are recruiting again. Anyone got info on current terms, application process etc?

[Shorus]

Hi folks,

Same question as above, I see SERCO have again renewed their ad on flightglobal. Anyone have info on the current ToC, roster, anything... ?

I never understand the reason people ask this forum for employment details which may or may not be correct. If interested why not make contact with Serco and ask them? Alternatively apply and see what happens and make a decision from there.

"I never understand the reason people ask this forum for employment details which may or may not be correct."

Yup. A PM to those who are there will answer most questions.
Anyone I know who has been there had a good time. Have another friend who started a few months ago and is as happy as Larry.

They are always advertising!

There are a number of very apparent reasons SERCO and Baghdad are always advertising!

SERCO's market share of ANS continues to shrink in the Middle East despite all efforts they make to hold onto what they've had.

They have an extremely troubling management/human resources problem within SERCO. The number of front line and HQ managers that have come and gone within SERCO is the past 5 years speaks to the internal troubles of the company.

The woman running the HR in Dubai for ATCO's in SERCO ME has no clue about proper recruiting and hiring practises and until she is gone they will continue to be advertising for applicants.

The Baghdad Contract in particular doesn't compensate enough for the increased risks associated with this location and instead relies on those whose last resort it is to apply for this posting. There isn't enough time off so that you can travel out of the base for R&R between cycles.

My suggestion is wait until another ANS provider is granted the contract for Baghdad and operates it in an entirely different way.
