Fill urgent vacancies faster with Email Boost

Recruiting in aviation has never been more competitive, and when you've got a vacancy that needs filling now, waiting for the right candidate to stumble across your job advert simply isn't good enough. That's why we've launched Email Boost: a laser-focused, low-effort way to get more eyes on your aviation jobs, so you can fill vacancies faster.

What is Email Boost?

Email Boost is a self-service email campaign that puts your job advert directly into the inboxes of aviation candidates. Rather than relying solely on candidates actively browsing Aviation Job Search, Email Boost reaches both active job seekers - people visiting the site or signed up for job alerts - and passive candidates who may not be looking right now but would jump at the right opportunity if it landed in front of them.

In short, it's the fastest way to make sure your vacancy doesn't get missed.

Why urgency matters in aviation recruitment

Aviation is a sector where timing is everything. Whether you're scrambling to cover a seasonal surge, replace a pilot who's just handed in their notice, or fill a highly specialised engineering role before a critical maintenance window, every day a vacancy sits unfilled has a knock-on effect on operations, rostering and budgets.

Traditional job postings are passive by nature - they wait for candidates to come to them. Email Boost flips that on its head by actively pushing your vacancy out to a relevant, ready-made audience, cutting down the time between "we need to hire" and "we've found someone".

We'll choose the perfect audience for you

One of the most powerful elements of Email Boost is its audience matching. You don't need to build a candidate list, segment by location, or guess who might be interested - Email Boost does the hard work for you.

Whether you're hiring pilots in Portugal or engineers in Edinburgh, the system automatically filters from our pool of hundreds of thousands of aviation professionals to find candidates whose skills, experience and location match your vacancy. Before you commit to anything, you'll see exactly how many matching candidates will receive your email, so you know precisely what you're paying for.

This targeted approach means your message isn't getting lost among generic job alerts - it's landing with people who are genuinely a fit for the role.

Built for speed: a true self-service experience

We know recruiters don't have time to brief in a campaign, wait for design approval, or chase up copywriters. Email Boost is designed to be completely self-service, and the whole process takes just a couple of minutes from start to finish.

There's no need to choose images, write marketing copy, or think about layout - we handle the technical side, making sure your job advert is mobile-friendly and lands in candidates' inboxes on a date that suits your hiring timeline. Payment is taken securely via Stripe, so you can go from "I need this filled urgently" to "campaign live" in minutes, not days.

How it works, step by step

Getting started with Email Boost couldn't be simpler.

Make sure your job advert is live on Aviation Job Search, then log into your recruiter dashboard and scroll down to your jobs. Tap 'Promote Job' next to the vacancy you want to boost, then select 'Email Campaign'. We'll show you a preview and an estimate of how many matching candidates we found. Once you select the date and complete payment, you're done.

An Email Boost costs £299 (plus VAT) - a straightforward, fixed-price way to get serious traction on a single vacancy without the commitment of a larger campaign.

How Email Boost compares to Targeted Email

Email Boost is the newest addition to our email products, sitting alongside our existing Targeted Email service, and the two are designed to complement each other rather than compete.

Email Boost is all about speed and simplicity - it's perfect when you have one specific vacancy that needs filling quickly, and you don't need any extra bells and whistles. You choose the job, choose the send date, and we take care of the rest.

Targeted Email, on the other hand, is a more bespoke and flexible solution. It's not limited to promoting a single vacancy - you can use it to showcase your company culture, promote events or webinars, highlight aviation-related courses, or feature multiple roles at once. With Targeted Email, you have full creative control over layout, imagery, text, and where the email links to, whether that's your job advert, your careers page, a registration form, or your own website.

Our design team builds each Targeted Email campaign for you, and you can take advantage of advanced features such as AI-powered send-time optimisation - so your email lands when recipients are most likely to open it - alongside subject line split testing, where two subject lines are trialled on a small portion of recipients before the best performer is sent to everyone else. You can even string together a series of three emails to create a fuller campaign, for example one focused on the role itself, another on your company culture, and a third highlighting other open positions.

Which option is right for you?

If you've got an urgent vacancy and want the fastest, most cost-effective way to widen your reach, Email Boost is built exactly for that. If you're looking to run a broader campaign - promoting your employer brand, an event, or several roles at once - Targeted Email gives you the flexibility and design support to do it properly.

Either way, with hundreds of thousands of aviation professionals - both active and passive job seekers - in our audience, we can help make sure your next vacancy doesn't stay open for long.
