Executive Connections and Network - Aviation and Airlines
We are experts in Executive Search and specialise in the search, recruitment and selection of C-Suite, Senior Executives and Directors for the global Aviation and Airline sectors.
We know the people you want to hire
We are constantly mapping the who’s who in our marketplace. Our reputation as a business and as individuals enables us to reach people that others cannot, because of the relationships we have built up through networking and recruitment. When we start a search, we can quickly and accurately recommend a shortlist of candidates.
In a marketplace where senior executive candidates are passive and are not applying for advertised jobs, not posting their CVs on job boards and not talking to most recruiters, knowing who to call and having existing relationships is critical. This is what we do.
Our knowledge means that we need to talk to fewer people to find the right candidate and in our experience, the fewer people spoken to means greater confidentiality.
We will often recommend the successful candidate at the start of the search, and this can be crucial where confidentiality and timing are key.
Our global reach of Executive Talent
We work with all types and sizes of aviation businesses and airlines, including some of the world’s leading employers across locations in the Americas, Europe, Middle East & Africa and Asia-Pacific. We have unrivalled access to C-Suite and senior executive global talent.
