Working with API, I was finally able to find an opportunity that was closely aligned with my values, personality and aviation goals. My current organization is one-of-a-kind, and like a family.

Without API, I never would have known this department existed, much less had the chance to present myself at an interview. The API process was slightly more comprehensive and personal than other applications; I attribute this to the success of the match. Sheryl Barden and her team offered enough insight into the position for me to know I was interested and that a potential match was on the table. They stayed in touch throughout the various phases of interview, which removed the majority of the mystery (and nerves) that usually occurs during the vetting process. I have and will continue to recommend colleagues to API.

Calling API was the most important step I took after my retirement from the Air Force. API provided outstanding service that allowed me to highlight and market my skills in order to land my dream job with a world-class corporate aviation department.

One of the many things I love about the API team is that they take the time to focus on people, their personalities and the right fit.

I feel completely confident that any career opportunity they present to me is worth serious consideration. Their time and effort is appreciated!

I interviewed and set up my candidate profile and over the years I kept in contact with API. Early this year, I was contacted by them to interview for what would become my dream job. I cannot recommend API enough. They handled my interview process with the upmost professionalism and I can’t thank them enough!

As I approach my second anniversary, I wanted to thank you again for seeing the ‘fit’ for me in this position. It has been a wild and fun ride, evolving significantly from the staid, predictable place it was when they retained you. My thanks are for my position, and also for helping us create the most cohesive, fun team I have ever been a part of. No dead weight, no agendas, no siloes. Truly a place where we are greater than the sum of the parts. A place where the people know that just culture prevails and respectful dissent is invited, and celebrated. It may be the best job in business aviation.

Working with the team at API was an absolute pleasure. Every "interview" in their thorough process felt more like a conversation over coffee than a formal interview. Debbi and Jennifer have honed their craft and are experts at screening applicants for placement. They take great pride in matching an applicant's personality with the culture of the companies they represent. Communication was excellent throughout the process. I highly recommend the team at API whether you're an applicant looking for a job or a company looking for the right employee who will match your workplace culture.

I just wanted to give a sincere thank you for the career assistance and guidance. API did an excellent job preparing, coordinating and navigating as a liaison between myself and the company.

I would highly recommend API to any corporate flight department that is currently searching for highly qualified aviation professionals.

Because of their emphasis on fitting the right people to the right position and department, I think that API is the best resource for those looking for a job in business aviation.

The people at API are consummate professionals, and they’ve always provided me with great input to enhance my development as a business aviation professional.

Working with API hasn’t just provided me with job opportunities I would not have found elsewhere, but they have also helped me to efficiently develop professionally.

My experience with API has resulted in my dream job. You will serve yourself, your department or future employer well by developing a long-lasting relationship with these fine people.

While most recruiting firms are merely interested in placing pilots in jobs, the API team is focused on personality and fit. In a corporate flight department, this is a critical component to success. By interviewing the departments to determine culture and needs, they then use a variety of personality tests and interviews to match those needs with potential candidates. This is a unique approach to recruiting.

API guided me through the entire process and were there at every step to ensure my success. They gave me clear idea of what the hiring manager was looking for and helped me prepare for the interview. I went in well-briefed and confident. That allowed me to tailor my answers to preemptively address those concerns.

In this dynamic hiring environment, it’s getting difficult to find people qualified on specific equipment. I was not the candidate on paper that my employer-to-be thought they were looking for. But through API's unique recruiting process, they were able to focus on what the hiring customer really needed.

"It was a pleasure working with the API team—they truly understand the ins and outs of corporate aviation maintenance. What stood out the most to me was how well my recruiter, Ben, communicated throughout the process, keeping everything clear and straightforward.

API's industry knowledge and personalized approach really impressed me. They genuinely take the time to understand both the candidate's and the employer's needs, making the match feel seamless. I’m confident this placement is a great fit for both the team and myself."

My experience with API was outstanding. Unlike other recruiters I've worked with, their deep understanding of corporate aviation maintenance was clear from the start. They truly 'get it' when it comes to maintenance, and were able to address all my questions confidently, ensuring I felt supported throughout the entire process.

API also helped me create an exceptional resume that effectively highlighted my unique qualifications, showcasing my strengths in the best possible light. I felt that API presented me with the utmost professionalism. I would highly recommend API to anyone looking to advance their career in Part 91 corporate maintenance.

Thank you for talking with me. I have to admit, the whole API process has been quite enlightening. It made me take a good look at the life experiences that made me the man that I am today.

API is the very BEST in the industry, hands down! I spent several months working with the team at API, including Jennifer and Debbi. The experience was nothing short of incredible. When I was feeling like I wasn’t valuable, you helped me see my worth. When I thought the perfect place for me didn’t exist, you helped show me that it does! You all ROCK, and I will not forget it…ever. I made friends for a lifetime with your group. Thank you for that, and everything else y’all did for me.

API placed me in an excellent position about 55 years ago. I made it big time from their efforts.

I regularly reflect on how lucky I am to be where I am, surrounded by the best in the industry; and I offer my sincere thanks to API for helping me to land this amazing job!

I first became associated with API in August 1997 as part of an [outplacement service] severance package. Since then, API has not disappointed.

Over the years, API has placed me in several positions, each one better than the last. API’s commitment to their clients is second to none. Companies that use API to fill positions are the types of organizations flight crews want to work for because they demonstrates a commitment to placing the right people in the right positions.

I consider API an integral part of my career and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking to advance their aviation careers.
