Your job ads now last longer

Job ads on Aviation Job Search now run for 30 days instead of 28. It's a small change on paper, but it makes a real difference to how long your roles stay in front of candidates, and it costs you nothing extra.

Why we made the change

A 28 day posting cycle created a small 2-3 day visibility gap at the end of most calendar months. That gap meant roles often expired right around month end and limits the cover of our job credit subscriptions. You asked for more continuous monthly coverage, and now we’re letting you know this has now been delivered.

What this means for your recruitment

Two extra days might not sound like much, but across a job posting it adds up to roughly 7% more visibility per credit. In practical terms, that's:

• Continuous coverage across the calendar month, with no drop-off between one posting cycle and the next
• More time for both active jobseekers and passive candidates who browse around their shift patterns to come across your role
• A better cost per application, since you're getting more exposure time for the same price

Whether you're hiring commercial pilots, aerospace engineers, or ground operations staff, your ads now have a bit more runway to reach the people you actually want applying.

How this fits into Post a Job

This change applies directly to our Post a Job product, which is how most recruiters get vacancies live on our site. Post a Job is built to be fast and self-service: our ad builder walks you through writing and formatting your listing, gives you a live preview as you go, and gets your role in front of an audience that's specifically searching for aviation work. Once it's live, applications come straight into your candidate tracking dashboard, so you can manage everything from one place without chasing emails or spreadsheets.

You also get full reporting on how each advert is performing, including how it compares to similar roles from other recruiters. That means the extra two days aren't just a longer listing, they're two more days of data on what's working, which you can use to sharpen future campaigns.

Beyond posting: building your pipeline and your brand

Posting a job is only one part of a recruitment campaign, so we also offer tools designed to work alongside it. If you'd rather go looking for candidates than wait for them to find you, CV Discovery gives you access to our database of aviation profiles and CVs, and SmartMatch uses AI-driven talent intelligence to help you shortlist faster and cut down the time spent sifting through applications.

If your goal is brand visibility rather than a single vacancy, we also run social media campaigns and targeted email promotions that put your company in front of aviation professionals who aren't necessarily job hunting today but will be worth knowing when they are. Between posting, searching, and promoting, there's a route that fits however your team likes to recruit.

More to come

We are continually taking feedback from both clients and candidates and using this to improve our product. As well as extending ad postings, you can see the other improvements we’ve made in our release notes, and plenty more ideas are under discussion and in our product pipeline for future releases. 

All of these aim to improve visibility, help airlines, MROs, agencies and companies in the sector find exceptional talent and build candidate pipelines to speed up the recruitment process.
