Job Profile

Our growing Human Resources team is looking for a Talent Acquisition Specialist to work with our Talent Acquisition team and hiring managers, for our Operations teams (OCC, Crew Planning, Flight Operations) and support them through the end-to-end recruitment process.

We’re looking for a recruiter who has experience in aviation recruitment. We are a fast-growing company, and the demand for new positions, in addition to replacement hires, is high and experience in large volume recruitment activities would be adventagous.

Based in either London, or Malta, you will be working on hires globally, but mostly for our offices in Malta, Germany, and USA.

While your primary focus will be on Operations, you will also have the opportunity to assist with recruiting for other areas of the business when required.

There will also be opportunities for you to get involved in projects as we develop the recruitment function within our growing and evolving business.

Your Responsibilities

• Partnering with HR business partners, business leaders and hiring managers to advise on the best hiring strategy;
• Maintaining an understanding of required candidate profiles to align sourcing, target promotion, and develop highly effective interview selection methods;
• Advise stakeholders on talent market conditions, compensation benchmarking and best practices for candidate selection;
• Write and advertise job adverts that are specifically targeted;
• Perform initial candidate screening, including first-stage telephone / video call interviews, in line with hiring manager’s brief;
• Guide candidates through the recruitment process and act as their point of contact throughout;
• Perform salary benchmarking exercises and lead offer negotiations;
• Contribute to initiatives that drive efficiency in our recruitment process;
• Collaborate on the development of Vista’s Employer Brand and messaging.

Required Skills, Qualifications, and Experience

• Experience recruiting technical or high-volume roles at all levels;
• Experienced recruiter that has worked in aviation recruitment, either in-house or for a recruitment company;
• You have worked with an applicant tracking system (we use iCIMS) and LinkedIn Recruiter;
• Experience recruiting internationally – ideally across Europe, and in particular, Germany;
• Ability to communicate professionally and build strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels.

Vista's fast-paced growth and it's relationships with the best partner operators opens the door to lifelong career opportunities across the group. Apply now to be a part of a high-performing and global Talent Acquisition team.
