Your mission

You are here to find, attract, and secure Europe's best cockpit talent.
Your mission: build a dream team of pilots that will support our transformational growth.
This is about knowing the market better than anyone else, spotting talent where others don't even look, and making top Captains and FOs choose you over any other opportunity.

You will:

Proactively source Captains and FOs across Europe.
Build a pipeline of highly qualified candidates ready to move.
Understand what motivates pilots to switch and make them choose us.
Support our scaling fleet without reinventing recruiting processes.

This is high-impact, high-stakes recruiting. If you thrive on challenge, competition and real influence, this is your arena.

Your profile

3-5+ years in aviation recruiting (EASE environment), with proven cockpit hiring success in General Aviation.
A strong direct sourcing track record: you can reach top talent others can't.
Deep understanding of the EASA pilot market: salary, type-rating bonds, benefits, movement patterns.
Ability to negotiate with candidates and secure their commitment.
Hands-on mentality: you thrive on action, results, and building pipelines quickly.
Experience collaborating with Flight OPS and HR and actively participating in interviews and selection.

Why us?

At Platoon Aviation, we don't just operate jets - we shape the future of European Business Aviation.
With 11 aircraft today and plans to grow, we are scaling fast and every pilot you bring on board shapes out operations, culture, and future.
You will work closely with Flight Operations and HR, participating in interviews and helping make hiring decisions, giving you a direct impact on the growth and performance of our cockpit teams. We move fast, take ownership, and reward results - there is no bureaucracy, just the opportunity to influence real growth and see immediate effect of your work.
At Platoon Aviation, this is where aviation careers take flight, and where your expertise as a pilot recruiter will make a tangible difference in shaping our fleet and the skies we fly.

Über uns

Platoon Aviation, gegründet 2021, hat die Vision, der führende Charterbetreiber zu werden, indem wir fortschrittliche Technologie, hochmoderne Flugzeuge und die beispiellose Expertise unseres Teams nutzen.

Im Jahr 2025 wird Platoon 11 identische PC-24 betreiben, die nach dem Floating-Fleet-Modell in ganz Europa eingesetzt werden (d. h. die Flugzeuge haben keinen festen Heimatflughafen). Die PC-24 bietet unseren Passagieren ein unvergleichliches Maß an Komfort, gepaart mit außergewöhnlichen Leistungsfähigkeiten und besserer Gepäckkapazität.

Platoon arbeitet auf Ad-hoc-Basis und bietet keinen festen Flugplan, sondern richtet sich nach den Markttrends und der individuellen Nachfrage der Kunden. Überdies funktioniert Platoon nach dem B2B-Modell, was bedeutet, dass wir hauptsächlich mit Brokern auf der ganzen Welt zusammenarbeiten. Aufgrund des höheren Flugvolumens, das wir betreiben können, hat uns dies bereits zu einer anerkannten Marke und Fluggesellschaft auf dem Markt gemacht.

Platoon ist entschlossen, neue Maßstäbe in Bezug auf Service und Experience zu setzen. Wir möchten, dass sich unsere Gäste beim Fliegen, wie zu Hause fühlen.
