Indonesia’s budget airline Lion Air is to review its recruitment process following the arrest of four employees suspected of stealing from passengers. 

The Jakarta Post reports the airline uses a recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) model. While background checks are already used for prospective employees, these are to intensify and will include psychological tests.

Lion Air public relations manager Andy Saladin reportedly told the publication the four alleged thieves arrested by the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport police were Lion Air baggage handlers and airline security officers, adding that the four had all been outsourced employees and had now been fired.

Recruiter contacted the airline for more information but had not heard back by deadline.
