Aerospace and Aviation Recruitment
Like many sectors, aerospace and aviation companies have gone through tough times with rising fuel prices, increasing regulation and the constant drive for more stringent safety management systems. Aerospace firms are competing to attract engineering talent with the right experience in materials, aerospace technology and fuel efficiency.
We stay up to date with industry developments and constantly look for new ways to overcome the challenges of recruiting in this sector. When a job specification requires a rare blend of skills, we find that a patient approach, liaising with all of the available candidates, often brings success.
We recruit across all areas including design, manufacturing, maintenance, aircraft modification and commercial operation. The candidates we place include engineers in quality, safety, airworthiness and general management.

Airbus
Airbus leads the world in the design and manufacture of commercial aircraft. The Airbus approach is to ensure that aircraft share the highest possible degree of commonality, which reduces the operating costs for airlines.
Airbus wanted to attract highly talented and experienced engineering professionals driven by a pioneering spirit and a passion for aeronautics.
“The team at Austin Fraser is extremely customer focused. They took a lot of time upfront to understand our business and the requirements of the technical positions that we recruit for. The result is that they can put forward a couple of candidates for a job and we know that they will be a very good fit.
Austin Fraser’s service takes the recruitment burden away from our management team. We simply don’t have time to trawl through hundreds of CVs, which in our experience is what a lot of other recruitment agencies give you. Another thing that we like about their approach is that they are completely honest with us. If we are asking for the impossible, they will tell us rather than promise something that they cannot deliver, which means we can plan accordingly.”
