Mark Weeden is the Recruitment Lead at CHC Helicopters (Australia) and is busy keeping 48 helicopters manned by some of the best talent.

Its time to dust off your CV and step behind the scenes of a helicopter aircrew recruiting office so you can be better prepared for your next job application.

Several times in our flying careers we’ll need to go through the process of applying for a position and mostly likely interviewing against other candidates.

As the machines get bigger and more expensive the stakes get higher – both for us and for the recruiters looking to take us on.

In this interview Mark Weeden takes us through the recruiting process for CHC Helicopters. He will also give you an insight into the challenges of aircrew recruiters so that you get a better appreciation of their role and how you can make their life easier (and your future job prospects better).

You’ll find links to resources and sites mentioned in the show further down the page.
