AT A GLANCE…
When Aurigny faced challenges recruiting ATR72-600 Captains, they partnered exclusively with AeroProfessional to leverage a new 14/14 UK based commuting roster. This collaboration enabled AeroProfessional to swiftly engage UK-based pilots through its extensive network, strategically promoting Aurigny's attractive new proposition. The result was the seamless placement of five required Captains within just two months, demonstrating AeroProfessional's deep market understanding and highly efficient recruitment capabilities.
THE SITUATION…
​
Aurigny Air Services, the flag carrier airline of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, faced a critical challenge in recruiting ATR72-600 Captains due to the difficulty of attracting UK-licensed pilots to relocate to to their home base of Guernsey. To overcome this, Aurigny’s new Chief Operations Officer (COO) introduced a strategic 14 days on / 14 days off UK based commuting roster. Recognising this new solution required specialised recruitment expertise, and based on a successful prior collaboration, Aurigny’s COO exclusively partnered with AeroProfessional for this pivotal campaign.
THE SOLUTION…
AeroProfessional swiftly deployed a targeted campaign, tapping into its extensive flight deck network to connect with UK-based pilots precisely matching Aurigny’s requirements. The strategy centred on meticulously promoting Aurigny's new 14/14 UK based commuting proposition, directly addressing the relocation hurdle. This allowed AeroProfessional to amplify Aurigny's employer brand and maximise interest from the target talent pool.
THE RESULTS…
This focused and strategic approach delivered rapid success. AeroProfessional efficiently secured five Captains within just two months. The entire recruitment process was seamless, demonstrating how AeroProfessional's deep market understanding and proactive promotional strategy were instrumental in attracting top-tier candidates and fulfilling Aurigny's critical staffing needs with exceptional speed.
