Executive and Managerial Recruitment

Direct Personnel offers the highest quality Executive and Managerial recruitment services to the Aviation industry. A discreet and professional service is what is offered and a commitment to only submitting the very best candidates to our clients.

Our recruitment process is clear and thorough and is designed to use the expertise in-house to ensure the high quality of candidates we submit. Our process is designed to ensure only candidates with the exact requirements and skill sets, as per the client’s instructions, are submitted. Our modus operandi is to provide quality candidates as per our clients exacting requirements.

We do this by spending time with our clients, listening carefully to their requirements and absorbing their corporate culture so we get a feel for exactly the type of candidate they require. We then use our database and our worldwide network to contact suitable candidates and we will also advertise the position where necessary. After extensive telephone interviews and face-to-face meetings when needed, we arrive at a short list, which is then submitted to the client. When the client then chooses the candidates they wish to proceed with, we can make all the arrangements for the candidates to travel to the clients base for interview and we can also attend if requested.

We run full background checks and carefully check all references to ensure the bona fides of all candidates.

• CEO
• CFO
• COO
• Flight Operations Manager
• Ground Operations Manager
• Sales and Marketing Managers/Directors
