Flybe, the low-cost airlines, has ‘gone-live’ with its new online recruitment system from Bond International Software.

The new system is part of a software development project which has enabled Flybe to use Bond’s specialist talent management software, Bond Talent, to develop an online recruitment system within one week of contracts being signed.

Flybe required an online infrastructure that could support the demands of its latest extensive recruitment drive, initially focusing on the pilot recruitment process. Flybe’s previous internal system was not sufficiently equipped to handle the predicted pressure to be placed on it, particularly in the pilot recruitment section.

he system that Bond provides tracks each online application received and includes an intuitive recruitment tool to manage all applications more effectively and ensure that candidates are dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Nathan Burden, Flybe operations business & technology manager, says, “Our recruitment drive is vital to our ongoing growth as a business. Bond’s tracking and management solutions were ideal and their ability to configure the system specifically to our exact needs for candidate tracking of pilot, cabin crew, ground staff and head office roles was remarkable, allowing us to start the recruitment drive as scheduled and with confidence.”
