A First Officer is an Aviation professional who is also commonly referred to as a Co-Pilot or Second Pilot. If you're looking for suitable candidates or hoping for a career in Aviation, recruitment agencies may provide the best staffing solutions for your needs.
When looking to recruit a First Officer, employers will often contact recruitment agencies that have experience of filling Pilot and Aviation jobs. These employment firms will often serve Freight, Scheduled and Chartered Airlines.
Working alongside the Captain, a First Officer will share the responsibility of a flight. Duties may include flying the plane and communicating with air traffic control, however, the Captain is still accountable for the journey. Candidates will need an Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL), which will remain frozen until a certain number of hours have been completed. A class 1 medical certificate will also be needed.
First Officer careers are competitive to enter and job seekers may find better job opportunities overseas. Scheduled airlines such as British Airways and easyJet are some of the biggest employers of First Officers, however, Freight firms such as DHL will also make hires. Private charter companies will also advertise for staff. While agencies will mostly recruit for permanent jobs when it comes to this position, contract opportunities are occasionally available.
Our company promotes a Quality First approach. Good quality ensures continued profitable growth in an exciting and competitive market. One important objective is to secure business by recommendation from other customers. Connect 4 hold our core values in high regard, and wish to continue to build on our established reputation within our market.
