Staffing Needs
Job Type
Following an internal restructure, one of the UK’s leading Security Managed Service providers found themselves with a need for a flexible staffing solution in Gatwick Airport to meet their sudden increase in demand.
Problem/Issue Client was Facing
In order to maintain excellent levels of customer care, the organisation quickly required more than 70 Customer Care and Ramp Agents dedicated to supporting passengers with restricted mobility within the airport environment, across multiple shifts. Each candidate needed to possess a full five-year Aviation Security vetting.
Our Solution
The organisation turned to the Aviation Connection team, partnering with staff at their Crawley branch who had considerable local knowledge, and 20 years’ experience within the aviation industry.
With time being of the essence, the Aviation team swiftly launched an extensive recruitment and marketing campaign, utilising job board advertising and social media to target the best candidates. Utilising resources within The Best Connection Group, they were also able to partner with National Accounts to consistently manage multiple sites, and their Onsite Division to create a fully managed best-in-class onsite solution.
The Results
The marketing campaign was a huge success – attracting a significant number of high-quality applicants, with over 1000 attendees to the Hiring Event. With a streamlined pre-screening process and rigorous applicant vetting, the team was able to recruit the required number of candidates within the desired timeframes, efficiently and effectively, paving the way for a successful long-term relationship.
