Flight Department Hiring? Here’s How to Post Your First Job on BizJetJobs

Hiring a corporate pilot or flight attendant can be hard. Typed, current, and available candidates don't stay on the market long. And general job boards are full of applicants who've never been near a Part 91 or Part 135 operation.

That's why corporate flight departments, charter operators, and private jet owners use BizJetJobs. Every candidate here is looking for work in business aviation, so you aren't digging through airline and general-industry resumes to find them.

If this is your first time posting, the whole thing takes about 10 minutes. Here's how.

Step 1: Create Your Employer Account (or Log In)

Go to BizJetJobs.com and click Sign Up in the top-right corner. Choose "I'm an Employer," then add some basic details about your company and who you're hiring.

Already have an account? Click Log In and you're set.

Step 2: Click "Post a Job"

From your Dashboard, hit the Post a Job button. This opens a posting form built for aviation roles, so you'll see fields for aircraft type and type ratings instead of generic job categories.

Step 3: Write a Job Listing Pilots Will Actually Read

Your listing decides who applies. Vague posts attract vague applicants. Specific posts attract the people you want. Include:

• Position Title: Be exact. "PIC – Gulfstream G550" beats "Pilot." Other examples: SIC Citation Excel, Contract Cabin Attendant, Director of Maintenance.
• Job Type: Full-time, part-time, or contract.
• Location: List the base airport code and city (e.g., KTEB – Teterboro, NJ or KVNY – Van Nuys, CA). Pilots filter by base, so this matters.
• Aircraft Type: If you need a typed pilot, say which type. If you'll pay for the type rating, say that too.
• Requirements: Total time, PIC time, time in type, type ratings, passport, visa status, and any other must-haves.
• Description: A few sentences on your flight department: how many aircraft, typical trips, schedule (e.g., 14 on / 14 off), and why someone would want to fly for you.
• Salary, Per Diem & Benefits (optional): Posts that list pay usually get more applicants, and better-matched ones. Pilots compare offers, and a missing number often means they skip the post.

Step 4: Choose How Candidates Apply

You have two options for receiving applications:

Option 1: Apply through BizJetJobs (recommended)
Enter the email address where you want applications sent. Candidates never see it. Pilots and crew apply with one click, even from their phone. Each application is saved to your BizJetJobs employer account and sent to your inbox at the same time, so you can review candidates wherever you prefer.

Option 2: Send candidates to your own HR platform
If your company requires applications to go through an external ATS or careers page, add that link. Candidates will be redirected there to finish applying.

Why we recommend Option 1: Every extra step loses you applicants. When a pilot has to leave our site, create a new login, and fill out another long form, many of them don't finish. That's especially true for someone applying from a phone between legs. With one-click applications through BizJetJobs, more qualified candidates apply, and they reach you faster.

Step 5: Preview and Publish

Give your listing one last read, then click Publish. Your job goes live right away, and we promote it to qualified pilots and crew in our network.

Tips for Hiring Pilots Faster

• Use the words pilots search for. Most candidates search by aircraft type, base location, and job type. Put all three in your title and description.
• Write for everyone, not just your team. Skip internal shorthand. Standard industry terms are fine, but a candidate from another operation shouldn't have to guess what you mean.
• Reply quickly. Good captains and cabin attendants get offers fast. Check your applications within a day or two and respond.
• Check your recommended candidates. As soon as your job goes live, your dashboard shows a list of recommended candidates matched to your posting. You can reach out to them directly without waiting for them to find you.

Why not just post on LinkedIn? Posting a job and hoping the right person sees it works poorly for specialized roles. On BizJetJobs, we match your listing to pilots and crew who fit it and put them in front of you.
