Selection Services

The staff at Druines Limited have wide experience of recruitment in aviation, helping select cadet pilots and qualified pilots from the many that apply. Our recruitment experience spans many sectors and we use the expertise we have gained to inform the way we approach recruitment and selection exercises, helping you make sense of a complex issue.

Using the knowledge we have gained we can either run a complete recruitment project for you, or can help you with parts of your own process.

Cadet Pilots

We are experienced in selecting from the wide range of applicants who seek to take up flying as a career whether self-sponsored or supported. When schools select their students they need to have a rigorous selection mechanism to determine not just flying skills, but establish qualities like determination, interpersonal skills and the potential for management and supervisory skills. Today’s pilots need to be confident and assertive communicators too – not just on the radio!

Qualified Pilots

Airlines, or other operators, seeking recently qualified, or qualified and experienced pilots may be able to assess flying skills well enough but also need the selection process to identify team and management skills – flying a commercial aircraft these days is much more than just poling around the sky! We can help by setting up integrated selection events designed to elicit a wide range of skills from candidates, using formal and informal assessment techniques, tests and exercises. And we provide guidance on interviewing, assessing and bring the information together in an easy to understand way helping you make final selection decisions with a very low risk of being wrong.

Senior Staff Selection Service

Our aim is to make sure there are no surprises when you finally make that selection decision. Using advanced assessment techniques we can provide a selection centre tailored to the post(s) you are reviewing, or recruiting to. This includes providing assessment material for your interviewers, role-plays, simulations and other exercises, all designed to bring the best (or worst!) out in the candidates you have selected for your shortlist.

Reorganisations and Internal Selection

When selecting from an internal pool of existing employees for different or fewer jobs in a reorganisation our selection service can be invaluable. We have wide experience of helping organisations with this type of exercise.

Feedback to Candidates

We take particular pride in the way we give feedback, because we recognise your organisation (and ours) will benefit from candidates feeling valued. Candidates always appreciate the useful advice that can be given.

Psychometric Testing Service

We have access to a wide range of psychometric tests, management diagnostics and questionnaires. Fees are competitive and the service includes feedback to candidates. We are careful to ensure that you are given the correct advice over which tests to use and a qualified and experienced practitioner always carries out the interpretation of the results.
