Make talent quality your leading analytic with skills-based hiring solution.
The world’s largest international airline—based in the Middle East and globally recognized for luxury travel—faces an enormous challenge: hiring and training thousands of cabin crew each year while maintaining the highest service standards.
Recruiting at this scale demands more than volume management; it requires an aviation talent assessment process that can ensure only the most qualified candidates represent the airline’s brand in the sky.
Key challenges included:
