In aviation, where airlines, airports, and air traffic teams work nonstop, every detail matters. With strict regulations, complex background checks, and teams working around the clock, HR needs processes that keep up with the pace of the industry.
HR in aviation faces challenges most industries never see
Lengthy background and security checks
Aviation and airline roles require intensive vetting. One small application error can restart the entire process, adding weeks of delay and putting pressure on already tight schedules.
Seasonal hiring pressures
Airlines, airports, and ground handling companies experience large recruitment surges during peak travel seasons. Bringing in high volumes of new starters quickly, while also staying compliant, places significant pressure on HR teams.
A 24-hour workforce with urgent requests
Cabin crew, pilots, airline teams, air traffic control, airport staff, and ground handling teams operate across time zones. HR receives constant requests that need fast, reliable workflows.
