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.
