Captain recruitment agency listing
The role of Airline Captain, also known as a Pilot, offers an exciting career to job seekers who are looking to enter the Aviation Industry. Recruitment for the role is competitive, however employment agencies will aim to aid employers in making the right Captain hires for their vacancies.
Captain jobs are often filled by recruitment agencies that have expertise in finding staff for a range of Aviation positions. Commonly listing clients such as commercial airlines and freight businesses, recruiters of Captains will work with an array of UK employers, as well as filling jobs overseas. Some multi-sector recruitment agencies may also recruit Captains for permanent and contract roles.
Job overview, qualifications and salaries
A Captain is responsible for the flight of an aircraft, be it a short-haul or long-haul journey. Captains usually work alongside a First Officer, and share duties such as making pre-flight checks, writing reports and flying the plane. The Captain, however, remains accountable for the flight. In order to become a Captain, candidates must first obtain an Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL). After a certain number of flying hours are completed, this license becomes 'unfrozen' and Pilots are then able to qualify as a Captain. Around 5,000 hours of flying experience is required before candidates can gain promotion to a Captain job. A recruitment agency will be expected to ensure that candidates are fully qualified for the position. The salary is usually between £50,000 and £90,000, with experienced professionals potentially commanding pay of around £140,000 per annum.
Key employers
When looking for employment as a Captain, candidates will tend to find job opportunities with passenger airlines, however they may work their way up from the position of a First or Second Officer. Employers may therefore include notable companies such as Ryanair and British Airways. Elsewhere, freight carriers also provide jobs to Captains and Pilots, as do private flight businesses. Recruitment agencies that attract Airline Captains will offer expert staffing solutions to a number of different employer types within the Aviation Industry.
