If an airport has good connections they are generally open to suggestions, even on a one off basis (price/timing has to generally be equal or better tho).

The review below is still very accurate to be honest.
The sim used was a Sovereign. Never flew it before (I only have turbo prop btw) a pilot from NJE will help you to operate it.
It is asked to candidates to not divulgate the precise nature of the assessment because it happened that candidates were ready to a certain type of questions, were asked completely different questions in reality and failed. NJE insist that they don't want you to fail. Once again, think about day to day operation.
Overall it was a really pleasant experience and very well organized. Kura team will ask you several times if everything is fine and to relax to give your best.

Hey,
I passed Phase 3 a short while ago and will hopefully start soon. Got some questions via PM about the assessment. I'm happy to share some info but I don't want to give too much away for obvious reasons. Furthermore, NJ and Kura did create an excellent selection process. It's long and hard, but they really do make you feel at ease and it is a fair assessment. What I'll share is not much more than what they shared with us before assessments, plus some advice on the sort of skills you'll need. I want the job and so I'm trying to say things that won't get me in trouble.
For those wondering why you got PFO'd after the psychometric, I was told that they leaned quite heavily on the some of the results behind it. I hate to admit it, as someone who hates pyschometrics, but it seemed to work. The candidates all seemed to be people who had personality traits that would be of benefit at NJ.
GENERAL
What they're looking for is essentially CRM, CRM, CRM, and then a little bit more CRM with a sprinkling of CRM on top of that... with a crunchy side of CRM. They want to see how you play with others. Communication, decision-making, etc
If you have been invited to Phase 3, then you will have taken a behavioural test. Every one of the assessments you take during Phase 3 will somehow be customised to you in some shape or form. To prod areas of concern etc.
There's some technical knowledge. Very practical, day-to-day operational knowledge that they will test you on, directly or indirectly. Nothing too arduous, and no niche trick questions. They are also very keen on ensuring that you are aware of what the job would entail. A heavy focus on this.
They make it clear from the moment you get there that it's not a competition. There's a job for everyone being interviewed. So please, don't be a €ockwomble during the group exercise, especially to other candidates. I had one person be like that to me in the group exercise and outof the blue I had to show additional skills in how to deal with unpleasant people within my own team. Not cool.
DAY 1
GROUP EXERCISE
You need to work well together, make sure to clarify what the objective actually is. Resources are scarce, so ensure that everyone is on the same page as to what the team needs before making use of them. I'd reccommend TDODARing things. Make sure to remember that as a NJ crew, your priority is giving the best service possible. In these exercises, this is mostly tested via your ability to make decisions and effectively communicating with the Owners.
I wish I could say more but doing so would give the game away.
ONE ON ONE INTERVIEW
This is a mixed interview, usually done by a pilot who works for Kura, although some non-pilot Kuras also ran some. There are some competency based questions, some questions about your career, and a lot questioning about you specific aspects of your personality. This will be tailored to you based off of your behavioural questionnaire. Have your competency based questions ready, be embarrisingly honest, and show them that you've carefully thought about what working for NJ means. They're looking for career pilots. No tech stuff in these interviews.
DAY 2
PANEL INTERVIEW
Here you will be interviewed by at least 3 people. Someone from Kura, a HR person, and a senior recruitment pilot. Run of the mill competency based questions. Lots of focus on your passion for flying, your understanding of customer service, discretion, CRM. They want to see how you deal with difficult situations. They expect you to have thought through the job, and considered not just the upsides, but also the downsides. I thought I had been foolish in being honest about the downsides I had in mind which were really personal, but it seems like they were happy that I was honest about it. The format seems to be along the lines of "tell me about this particular thing," then you get follow up questions based on your answer, followed eventually by a related competency based question. Some of the questions seemed to be related to what came up in the behavioural assessment.
Some day-to-day operational technical questions, some high-level theory questions. Nothing massively complex. Study your tech stuff well and you'll be fine. They're also not looking for perfection. Sometimes you may make a mistake and they will point it out. Be gracious. It's all about who you are as a person. Can you take criticisim? Can you be patient? etc
SIMULATOR
I personally found it a breeze, so it was to my surprise that some of the others didn't. They're not really testing your hand flying skills. They give you pretty much all the tools you would normally have. They tell you straight up what they're assessing. You just need to be a pilot. They're looking for comms, decision-making, ANC, that sort of thing. Ensure you're doing briefs and TEM properly, that you use a decision-making model, and that you're keeping others in the loop. They want to check that even when things aren't going to plan you can still take into consideration how you can provide a good customer-service.
You get a briefing session with some minor tech questions at the end, before going into the sim.
Again, I refuse to give more than that because I don't want to get into trouble. Honestly with this already you can prepare properly. They also have a variety of profiles so no guarantees even if I told you exactly what the sim is. And you really don't need the profile. It's really not what matters here.
----
The folks are super nice and open. You have loads of opportunity to sit around with a cup of coffee and ask them questions. People from Kura, Pilots at NJ, other candidates, etc. It's an exhausting but overall really positive experience. Even folks who didn't get an offer said the same thing.
Good luck to everyone!

I may be wrong, but I believe the next recruitment would be autumn 2024, what I've heard internally. But I may be mis-informed and it may be this year, i would be surprised if thats the case as we had a recruitment window in march/april this year.

Hi Guys,
Anyone have a clue on when is the next Pilot recruitment round to happen?
I just saw a LinkedIn post today with openings for several positions (office only) with Netjets Europe page.
Regarding the “Spanish tax exemption for pilots”, anybody using it, or have a clue on how it works?
Anyone got in trouble with it?

Regarding recruitment, I don't think there's anything in the pipeline for the initial part of the process, however, the one constant with Netjets Europe is change. So don't be surprised if it opens up next week. (But I don't think it will).
I see you're on LinkedIn, make sure you have Kura tagged so you get alerts when they come in.
The recruitment windows are usually only open for a week or so, therefore, make sure you have every thing ready to go.

Starting date
Anybody from the last recruitment process or anyone already in NJE has heard anything about a starting date? We’ve been told “expect January”, but still no news so far or offer letters received. Considering that many of the new joiners have a 3 months notice period, was wondering when we could hear something..
PPRuNe Handmaiden
As far as I am aware, there's no Indocs in the pipeline for at least a month or two. So January isn't ridiculous and that looks likely on the current guesstimate.
However, as I said above, the only constant with NetJets is change.

Yeah I heard they love changing things, which I think keeps everything more fun and less boring!
But I was wondering mostly when we could hear something from them regarding a starting date. How long before starting do they usually send offer letters and a date for the Indoc?

Last one I got was back in early Dec 2004. I got the phone call first and then the letter. Started a month later.

However only got the contract a couple of days before starting.
We did get a letter of intent before that but no actual contract until quite late.
If you have three months notice and are getting tight, contact them and explain your situation.
HR is very busy but they will understand and do something.

how about the "letter of intent" aka Conditional Job Offer, have they send that one enough in advance for you to sumbit your resignation and serve your full notice period?
Thanks, cheers!

HR assured everyone that they’ll keep in mind the notice period and send an offer letter as soon as they have dates.
She also said that there’s a chance new joiners will not even start in January. 😩

Had to look back in my old emails, we got that one about 2,5 weeks before starting. So also quite late.
I don’t know about the other groups.
In the end if you can’t make it somebody else probably will, so HR is fine with that. As long as they fill the slots.
Honestly, it’s a very busy department and I can understand quite difficult at times dealing with all those different nations and laws, but HR sometimes play the game a bit…when they shouldn’t.
Anyway guys, my only advice: ask/tell them. You will not be disadvantaged for politely raising a real issue.
At the end of the day they don’t call the shots, higher up does.
And the more feedback they get that higher up can’t keep dillydallying, the better it is also for them.
