The Challenge

Managing a Pan-European, High-Volume Talent Pipeline at Scale

Ryanair's operational model requires a constant, massive influx of skilled international talent across over 90 bases. Managing the recruitment of thousands of pilots, cabin crew, and engineers a year through a mix of direct advertising, recruitment events, and third-party agencies is complex, costly, and creates process inefficiencies. A fragmented approach cannot keep up with the speed and scale of your growth.

A diminishing pool of local candidates for critical roles such as slaughter operatives, boners, and refrigeration technicians.

Difficulty scaling the workforce efficiently to manage seasonal peaks and fluctuating market demands, leading to potential output limitations.

Navigating the intricate and time-consuming processes of work permit acquisition and international relocation for non-EU nationals.

Standard recruitment fees (often €7,500+ per hire) without comprehensive support for relocation and integration, placing a significant administrative burden on internal HR.

Demonstrated Success

The Ryanair Partnership

For an airline operating at Ryanair's scale, optimizing recruitment is a major strategic advantage:

  • Massive Financial ROI: Conservatively, sourcing 500 international crew and technical staff via agencies could cost €1,250,000 annually (at a blended average of €2,500/hire). A top-tier enterprise license at €180,000/year could deliver over €1,070,000 in savings.
  • Total Pipeline Control: Bring all recruitment activity—from pilot academies to cabin crew assessment days—onto a single platform. Gain complete visibility and control over every candidate in your pipeline, across every country.
  • Radical Efficiency Gains: Automate administrative tasks, streamline the assessment process, and accelerate the time-to-hire for all roles. Get pilots, cabin crew, and engineers in place faster to support network expansion.
  • Own Your Talent Brand: Reduce dependency on third-party recruiters like Crewlink. Build a direct relationship with every candidate from day one, ensuring a consistent brand experience and creating a long-term talent asset.

The Recruitroo Enterprise Advantage

Our enterprise license provides everything you need to build a world-class, in-house international recruitment function.

  • Unlimited Hires: A single, annual license fee for unlimited international hires.
  • Dedicated Customer Success: Expert support to ensure you are maximizing the value of the Recruitroo platform.
  • Continuous Innovation: Regular platform updates and new features to keep you at the forefront of recruitment technology.
  • Predictable Budgeting: Move away from volatile per-hire costs to a fixed, predictable annual license fee.
