I applied for a job through Aeroprofessional.
I applied for a job through Aeroprofessional.
They are a recruiting company, and while they may potentially pay the salary, they are not the final arbiters of whether recruitment takes place or not.
On applying for the job, I was sent an email of rejection within an hour of having applied. No reason was provided.
Now I understand that it is their prerogative to do whatever they want, but as long as I fulfilled the required criteria and more, I do not understand why they did not pass my application along, and wait for the employing company to make a choice about whether they wanted to continue with my application or not.
Thereafter I attended a webinar with Aeroprofessional regarding the same job. During the Q&A session, which was basically nothing but a re-hash of what they had talked about already, they COMPLETELY ignored my question about whether they, Aeroprofessional, in any way screened applications before sending them on to the employer.
They said in the webinar that pilot requirements were so high that the employer could not even put a number on how many people they wanted!
The advertisement is still open. They are holding webinars and thus encouraging people to apply.
So why did they themselves reject me within hours of receiving my application?
Why did they ignore my question about whether they screen applications at their end?
It smacks of discrimination on the basis of someone's name and background.
I would give Aeroprofessional a wide berth if I had the choice when looking for a job in aviation.
