People outside of aviation, that have met with taleo, say that this system cuts 90% of all aplications and passes to the reqruiters only the rest 10%. In all other cases, however, the system scans through the cv to look for specific keywords. In our case I cannot imagine what the descision variables are, except probably flight time. For instance I applied with only 20 hours above the minimum requirements, so I guess I got busted for that. I don't know.... Anyway I hope they will continue the open days practice as this is the only real chance to get past the CV gatkeeper.

Listen,
I spoke to one of their pilots yesterday, he claims that Wizzair aims to recruit 200 FO's in this recruitment season. Having said that, as it was explained to those who attended the Bucharest open day, they will interview these candidates first. So if you applied online, you are looking at the Jan/feb recruitment window.
There isn't many staff at the HR office to answer your questions as they are overwhelmed with training. All of the Training Captains are flying.The candidates that were interviewed up to May 14,are going through line training as we speak.You certainly can email them but I doubt you'll get a response and you can run the risk of pi***g off the HR people.
I know it's frustrating, last year I went through the first stage for Aer Lingus, then was 'let go' with no explanation. Jet2, Easyjet and now Flybe, they also use taleo. I passed the online assessment with one of them just to receive a PFO after…. so I know how it feels, just hang in there fellas.

Hours: 320 on CS25 jet and about 480 total
applied for FO/NTR
Level 5
Last flight - the day of the application
For the Cadet guys - As I remember from before you had to write three essays. These are the taleo traps. It searches for keywords in that! Fur the rest I just can't imagine...

Hi there!
Most of the people applying for cadet non type rated scheme will be rejected because it represents less than 2% of the new comers!
10 years ago when wizz started to operate they had a largest part of cadet non rated but they had good and bad experiences (most of them)! So for the moment this scheme is not the one they will push the most!
They want rated pilot ready to fly now or experienced FO (rated or not)!
About their selection criteria and IT tool
The system they use is good or bad... I do not know! I am not in the HR department. We are not here to judge it!
Of course they do not screen all the application... the system does it! Only the ones with all boxes ticked would be considered!
We all want to find a job and I really hope that it is going to be in a near future!
If you do not have a JOC, do it...
If you can do a TR on Airbus, maybe do it as it can be the only criteria they wanna see!
Be ready and do not stop trying!

We got a company email a few weeks ago, they said they are looking to recruit 40 cadets for next season. In the future these cadets will come from two training providers..
Good luck to all!!!
They need pilot's, real bad!

And this percentage was given to me two or three years ago by a TRI captain from the house! According to the expanding plan of the company the number of 200 seems realistic!
Take into consideration that some Senior FO's will leave for majors in the Middle East or somewhere in Asia... This number can be more important!
Now the big deal is of course about the cadet non rated... How to be hired without getting this minimum experience that they all require!
Few companies are opening vacancies for cadet low hours...
Wizzair has opened a vacancy for that profile but none of the person I know managed to be selected!

Great news VanDeures.
So, did you receive this email from Wizz Air at their initiative? I mean, did you complete an application last week or have you just waited for them to give you a sign?
I ask you because I am a little afraid of Taleo system they have and I don't want to risk a ban for 12 months by applying to their system.
I am romanian and I was at the pilot open day in Bucharest and received this email in february '14: "Thank you for the update. We will update our records here. I can tell you that your application is in a holding pool, and it is very likely now that you will be considered for next season’s recruitment starting in Autumn 2014."
