Their Staffing Challenge
As the old saying goes, “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” This is especially true in the aviation and aerospace industry, where experience and personal connections are often the key to landing a job. However, finding qualified candidates for positions in these fields can be a challenge, especially for companies that don’t have the time or resources to conduct a thorough search. This was the situation facing Wheels Up when they turned to Total Aviation Staffing for help filling three hard-to-fill positions.
Through a custom recruiting solution that included targeted sourcing, screening, and assessment tools, we were able to find the high-quality candidates they needed to fill their Avionics Maintenance, Aircraft Structure, and A&P Technician positions. This comprehensive approach allowed us to not only meet but exceed Wheels Up’s expectations, and they were so pleased with the results that they have since engaged us to fill additional positions. If you’re looking for a staffing partner with experience in the aviation and aerospace industry, look no further than Total Aviation Staffing.
