Oliver Grohmann, Senior Vice President Human Resources at the Emirates Group said: “In the last financial year, we received around 2.7 million applications globally for roles across the organisation. We are using the latest technologies, such as digital assessments, artificial intelligence and other top-notch recruitment systems to shortlist, select and respond to candidates in the most efficient and effective ways. “For cabin crew recruitment, Emirates is organising open days and invite-only events across 6 continents, covering hundreds of cities all year round. The recruitment process is carefully designed to be completed within a day, and candidates are contacted within 48 hours of the assessment. Since 2022, the airline has welcomed over 900 new pilots on its three recruitment programmes – Direct Entry Captains, Accelerated Command, and First Officers.
