Smarter Hiring for Aviation Talent is Coming

If you’re managing talent acquisition in aviation, you know that the biggest challenge isn't just finding people. It’s finding the right people without losing hours to the noise.

Standard recruitment tools are often too broad for our industry. You might spend your morning filtering through "Engineers" who don't have the specific ratings you need, or scrolling through profiles that lack critical data like flight hours or licence validity.

At Aviation Job Search, we realised that the traditional "Post and Pray" model was no longer enough. We’ve parsed over 1 million aviation CVs to build a solution that understands the technical nuances of a hangar or a cockpit. We didn’t just build a better search bar; we built an intelligent system designed to do the heavy lifting for you.

1. Moving Beyond "Post and Pray"

Traditional job boards focus on reach, but we focus on relevance. When you post a role, SmartMatch doesn't just wait for candidates to find you. It immediately scans our 150,000+ active aviation profiles and surfaces a shortlist of the top 10%. You can start your day reviewing the best fits in the market, even before the first application arrives.

2. Sophisticated Filtering Without the Admin

We all know the "Monday Morning Inbox" struggle: hundreds of applications where only a handful meet the technical requirements. SmartMatch helps you reclaim that time. Our AI scores every applicant against your specific aviation criteria:

• Automatic Scoring: Candidates are ranked by Type Ratings, hours, and licence validity.
• Intelligent Filtering: High-intent, qualified candidates are moved to the front, while unsuitable applications are flagged so they don’t clutter your workflow.
• The "Living" Profile: You get a structured view of a candidate’s experience and intent at a glance, making it easy to decide who to move forward.

3. Making Your CRM Work for You

Most TA teams have a database full of talent they’ve already engaged with, but that data is often trapped in static PDFs. We can plug our SmartMatch technology directly into your existing CRM, "waking up" your old records and turning them into a searchable, actionable talent pool. It allows you to find the perfect hire from within your own system before you even look elsewhere.

4. A Simple, Scalable Model

Our model is built to be flexible and focused on genuine engagement:

• Starting from £100 per month for 20 connections.
• Search and Review for free: Explore the global audience and view detailed scores and profiles without spending a credit.
• Connect with Confidence: You only use a connection when you’ve vetted the profile and are ready to start the conversation.

Focus on Hiring, Not Searching

Recruitment should be about high-value conversations, not manual data entry. Whether it’s surfacing the best candidates from your ads or refreshing the talent already in your CRM, SmartMatch is built to be the most "aviation-literate" member of your team.
