Pilot Jobs and Hiring: The Aviation Career Board with a Verifiable CV
The Career section turns pilot jobs into a two-sided board where operators post vacancies and pilots apply with a verifiable CV — flight hours, licenses, and currency drawn from real platform data instead of self-reported claims.

An aviation jobs board built for pilots and operators
Career (/career) is pilot.report's hiring vertical: a public, server-rendered job board where aircraft operators and employers post pilot vacancies and pilots apply. The list of open roles is browsable without an account, so a candidate can scan the market before logging in, and every job page is fast and indexable.
A vacancy carries the details recruiting actually turns on — title, company, base location, category, employment type, aircraft type, minimum total hours, required licenses and ratings, and a salary range — so the fit is legible at a glance rather than buried in a PDF.
- Job categories: airline, business aviation, charter, cargo, instructor, ferry, other
- Employment types: full-time, part-time, contract, seasonal, freelance
- Salary range (min-max) in EUR/USD/GBP/CHF per year/month/day/hour, or shown as negotiable
- Base captured as ICAO code, city and country via an airport picker
The verifiable CV: hours, licenses and currency from real data
The defining trait of this board is the verifiable CV. When a pilot applies, their CV is computed on the fly by the computeCV engine from data they already keep on the platform — there is no separate profile to maintain and no self-reporting of experience. Flight hours are summed from sealed, tamper-evident logbook records, not from a number typed into a form.
The same card counts licenses and how many are registry-verified, counts ratings, and derives readiness from document expiry dates. It also surfaces recency — days since last flight and flights in the last 90 days — plus the pilot's home base, so an employer sees not only totals but whether the candidate is legally fit and actively flying.
- Sealed, tamper-evident flight hours pulled straight from the logbook
- Licenses verified / total, with registry-confirmed credentials marked by a check
- Ratings count and logbook records count
- Readiness states: flight-ready, needs attention (expiring in 30 days or less), has expired ratings, or no expiry dates set
- Recency: last-flight days, flights in the last 90 days, home-base ICAO
Applying, and previewing exactly what the employer sees
Pilots apply with an optional cover letter of up to 3000 characters; the verifiable CV is attached automatically. Before committing, a pilot can self-preview the exact CV card the employer will receive, so there are no surprises about which hours, licenses or ratings are exposed.
Applications are governed by a clear lifecycle. There is one application per pilot per job — re-applying updates the existing one rather than spamming the operator — and a pilot can withdraw a pending application at any time. You cannot apply to your own posting.
- Cover letter up to 3000 characters, CV attached automatically
- Self-preview of the verifiable CV before applying
- One application per job; re-apply updates it in place
- Withdraw your own pending application
Employer triage with privacy-gated contact reveal
On the hiring side, an employer sees every application as a verifiable CV card and moves each candidate through a pipeline: pending, shortlisted, invited (accepted), or declined. This keeps a growing applicant pool organized around evidence rather than paperwork.
Contact details are privacy-gated by design. A pilot's email is disclosed to the employer only once the application is shortlisted or accepted — never at the pending stage. That reduces spam, protects candidates, and means reaching out is a signal of genuine interest.
- Statuses: pending, shortlisted, accepted (invited), declined, withdrawn
- Contact revealed only after shortlist or invite
- Ownership guards: only the job owner can triage, edit, close or delete
- Application counts exclude withdrawn applications
Managing vacancies across your personal tabs
The board is organized into three tabs. 'Jobs' lists all open roles; 'My applications' tracks a pilot's outgoing applications and their live status; and 'My jobs' gives an employer their posted vacancies with real-time application counts.
Owners keep full control of a listing: edit its details, close or reopen it (open to closed and back), or delete it. A closed job rejects new applications, so posting once, filling the seat, and closing the vacancy is a clean, controlled flow.
- Jobs tab: every open vacancy, publicly browsable
- My applications: status tracking (under review, shortlisted, invited, declined)
- My jobs: your postings with live application counts
- Close or reopen a vacancy; closed jobs stop accepting applications
How it works
- Employer posts a vacancy: title, company, base (ICAO/city/country), category, employment type, aircraft type, minimum hours, required licenses/ratings and salary range.
- The job appears on the public board (SSR/ISR, revalidated about every 120 seconds), browsable without an account.
- A pilot opens the role, previews their verifiable CV, and applies with an optional cover letter — CV attached automatically from sealed hours and confirmed licenses.
- The employer triages applicants by CV card, moving each through pending, shortlisted, invited or declined.
- Contact is revealed once the pilot is shortlisted or invited; the pilot tracks status in 'My applications'.
- The owner closes the vacancy when filled, or reopens and reposts it when needed.
FAQ
What makes the pilot CV verifiable?
Flight hours are summed from sealed, tamper-evident logbook records rather than typed in, licenses and ratings show how many are registry-confirmed, and readiness is derived from real document expiry dates. The CV is a byproduct of actual platform use, so employers screen evidence, not claims.
When does an employer see my contact details?
Only after your application is shortlisted or accepted. At the pending stage your email stays private. This privacy-by-design reveal cuts spam and means an employer reaching out has already reviewed your verifiable CV.
Can I browse and post jobs without logging in?
You can browse all open vacancies without an account, since the board is server-rendered and public. To apply for a role or to post and manage a vacancy you need to be logged in.
What types of pilot roles can be posted?
Airline, business aviation, charter, cargo, instructor, ferry and other, across full-time, part-time, contract, seasonal and freelance terms — with minimum hours, aircraft type and required licenses such as PPL, CPL, ATPL, IR, ME, FI, Type Rating and ICAO English levels.
