Added the ability for you to register / login with your Google or LinkedIn profiles for ease of registration

If needed, you can upload up to 3 CVs to your account so that you have multiple options available to use when applying for jobs

Added certifications and professional credentials sections in the candidate profile to allow you to attach documents backing up your qualifications, helping you stand out from the crowd
Added a preview panel within the profile builder so that you can see how your profile will look whilst you’re working on it
Added new sections within the candidate profile where you can shout about your personal achievements, awards, hobbies, skills and interests, letting you show recruiters more of who you are and why you are the ideal candidate for them
Enhanced our CV parsing capabilities, to improve the accuracy of the information that we pull from your CV when creating your profile
Added profile completion markers to help remind you what sections of your profile need filling out, as well as highlighting the most thorough and detailed candidate profiles to our recruiters; meaning the time you spend on your profile will pay off
Candidate dashboard
MAY 2021
Bug fix - expired jobs were previously unable to be removed from your Saved Jobs area. This has now been fixed.
APRIL 2021
Completely redesigned candidate dashboard, bringing all the most useful features into one place
Easily access your candidate profile from your dashboard; return to edit and update it at any point
Access jobs that you’ve applied to from a dedicated area in your dashboard, in case you need to revisit the job advert in preparation for an interview
Saved Jobs are now visible within your dashboard, letting you easily return to the jobs you’ve previously saved. Remove your saved jobs with a single click to the banner at the top right of each job
Improved Job Alerts section where you can pause, reactivate or delete your job alerts with a single click
Added a recent searches section to your dashboard, so that you can easily return to the site and perform repeat searches at the click of a button rather than searching manually every time
APRIL 2021
Application process
Improved the application process; to apply to a role, you’ll need to have filled in the minimum required information on your profile (your basic contact details and at least one item of work experience). By asking you to provide this information as standard, we aim to maximise your chances of being hired.
Added the ability to apply for jobs with your Aviation Job Search profile or your CV - simply set the default in your Account Settings
Improved the quick apply process; once you’ve uploaded your CV and/or filled out your candidate profile, apply with your chosen document with a single click
Improved the external apply process with the aim of better tracking how this is working for you; let us know if you managed to complete your application on the hiring company’s external site when you return to the Aviation Job Search browser window, by selecting Yes or No on the popup window
APRIL 2021
Improved communications
We’ve added a feature to our recruiters’ accounts which allows them to keep you updated on the progress of your job application more easily, triggering email communications that will update you on your progress each step of the way. We’ll be working with our recruiters to encourage them to make use of this feature, with the aim of giving you an improved experience in terms of being kept up to date once you’ve applied to a job
APRIL 2021
Account settings
Take control of your communication preferences within the Communications section of your account settings. Choose which email updates you’d like to receive from us with the click of a button.
Open to opportunities / actively looking - set your profile to either of these statuses to highlight to recruiters whether you are simply open to being contacted with relevant opportunities, or actively looking for a new role at the moment
Set your default application preferences; choose whether to apply for jobs with your Aviation Job Search profile or your CV by default
Should your contact details change, easily update these in seconds in your Account Settings
