October 2012 Client Feedback:  When I contacted Betts Recruitment, I was in a position of almost total ignorance about how to source a pilot with the right skills and experience for what we needed. Fiona invested a lot of her time explaining and clarifying the process, current market conditions, pilots’ expectations, training requirements and information a whole host of other areas, all of which was enormously helpful and much appreciated. Once we gave the ‘go ahead’ for recruitment to start, we were presented with a good range of CVs from clearly well-qualified applicants within a very sensible timeframe. My own perception of Betts is of a very customer focused organisation which definitely goes ‘the extra mile’ to help its clients, does what it says it’s going to do with maximum efficiency and minimum fuss, and does it all for a very reasonable rate. A pleasure to work with, thank you. (HR Manager, hiring a Pilot for their Chairman’s Private Plane)

May 2012 Candidate Comment: Thanks very much for the chat today.  As always, you were most understanding and thoughtful in your comments.  It is indeed a pleasure to know and work with you. Just wanted to also say how much I value the people you have working with you.  Truly great people, a rarity in this day and age when Candidates send out CV’s to never hear from anyone on the other end.  I sometimes think in this fast paced business life that we are losing the finer points.  That business is people dealing with people, respect, dignity, understanding these are some of the keys to success.  I truly believe that your company is way out front when it comes to value of people.  Keep up the great work, it will come back to you tenfold.

July 2010 Candidate Comment: "I must stress how professionally you are handling this, as most of the anxieties of applicants regarding progress and/or closure of their applications are all dealt with by your email guidance, so it has to reflect that your company has a full understanding of what the applicants may need to know after initial application goes off and a wait ensues. Congratulations from my side on your spot-on guidance."

I know that the aircraft Owner was very happy with him and that he felt the plane was in good hands. The Owner was also particularly pleased that [your Captain] had a keen regard for economy and was really responsible with money and credit cards. He provided a breakdown of all bills and credit card expenditure with supporting evidence. We really couldn’t fault him as a pilot.”
