Testimonials

What clients say.

  • “We were two engineers short, with big projects ahead, and we needed permanent staff. Our internal search wasn’t turning up suitable people. Once Louis got involved, the job became a lot easier. He understood exactly what we were looking for and found us the right engineers quickly.”

    Accountable Manager, helicopter operator, Germany

  • “Licensed B1 and B2 engineers with business jet experience are some of the hardest people to find in Germany. What stood out with the PJETS team was the screening. Every CV had been checked against our requirements before it reached us, so our technical manager only saw people worth interviewing. No wasted time on either side.”

    HR Manager, business jet maintenance organisation, Germany

  • “Ahead of a busy summer season, we needed to strengthen the team, and the roles were hard to fill locally. Louis found strong candidates from across Europe and handled their notice periods and relocation himself, which took a big job off our hands. He learned how we operate early on and kept us informed at every stage.”

    HR Business Partner, business jet operator, Netherlands

  • “The PJETS team knew what mattered straight away: the right licence category, the right type ratings and fluent French. Every engineer they put forward met all three, and we hired from their first shortlist. In a market this tight, that is rare.”
