Pilot Recruitment and
Psychological Assessment (EASA)
Concept
Our concept takes into consideration the negative experiences with newly hired pilots in Business Jet Operations and Regional Airlines. In spite of having gone through type rating and line-introduction, some newcomers still show deficits in basic skills and behavior. In order to prevent such expensive, time-consuming and safety relevant failures, we offer a professional and highly efficient selection procedure.
The basis of our 2-day selection procedure is a well-defined job profile and standards agreed upon with our clients.
The philosophy behind this 2-day selection process is to offer an alternative to the assessment-center at a reasonable price. In a scientific comparison our concept showed an almost identical level of validity in comparison to a long and costly assessment-center procedure. The repeatability and consistency of our tests, interviews, analyses, and scorings are verifiable and transparent.
This selection process used by NANTYS on behalf of different Business Jet and Airline Operators has made prove of a flawless reliability since its introduction in 2005.
New: In hindsight of the Germanwings- accident in 2015, NANTYS introduced a Psychological Assessment in addition to the Multi Psychometric Profile performed by specialized Psychologists in accordance with the “pre employment assessment” EASA AMC1 CAT.GEN.MPA.175(b) Endangering safety PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT (a) Required from February 14th 2021. Analysis is based on the candidate’s Psychometric Profile, his/her behavior during the assessment, and on a personal interview. The accuracy and predictability of a candidate’s potential of critical behavior and attitude is thus considerably increased.
