Aviation management hiring strong in 2013

By General Aviation News Staff · August 15, 2013 ·

FORT WORTH, Texas – Aviation Search Group reports that management hiring is strong so far in 2013. When compared to 2012, the first half of 2013 reflected an 11% increase in all assignments, with the most noticeable increase in executive and management roles.

“We are retained by aviation companies to conduct hundreds of searches each year for personnel ranging from technicians to presidents,” says Director of Sales Grayson Barrows. “This year our assignments have primarily been leadership roles. Management and executive level searches have increased 40% for our firm in the first half of ‘13. The increase in critical leadership search assignments is a noticeable industry indicator. It is important to note these positions were due to growth and not attrition with our clientele.”

“Based on strategic planning and consulting with our customers, we do not anticipate this trend changing any time soon,” he continued. “The requirement for solid senior level managers will continue as companies aim to accomplish their goals. This is very encouraging news for the aviation industry.”

Aviation Search Group is a provider of customized search programs for aviation and aerospace manufacturers, airlines, military and government aircraft service providers, business and general aviation, space, airport operations, etc.

    This is great news for those of us that are interested in moving from the left seat to the office seat. I know I’m looking forward to the move.
