Aviation & Aerospace Recruitment Solutions

Connecting aviation organizations with qualified talent. Success in aviation depends on safety, compliance, technical excellence, and having the right people in the right roles. Sizanid Staffing helps airlines, airports, MRO providers, aerospace manufacturers, defense contractors, and aviation service organizations recruit skilled professionals across the United States and internationally. From licensed aircraft maintenance engineers and avionics technicians to aerospace engineers and aviation leadership professionals, we deliver specialized talent that keeps operations safe, compliant, and on schedule.

Recruiting in a licensed, audited industry

Aviation is among the most tightly regulated sectors anywhere. Maintenance engineers hold type-specific licenses, safety-critical roles require recurrent training and medical certification, and airside access depends on background checks that take time.

Sizanid Staffing recruits across aircraft maintenance and MRO, ground handling and airport operations, airline commercial and operations functions, and aerospace manufacturing and design.

License type ratings, certification currency, and airside clearance eligibility are checked during screening, because a candidate who cannot be cleared or whose type rating does not match your fleet is not a candidate at all.

What makes aviation hiring hard

Licensing, clearance, and type specificity narrow the pool at every stage.

Licenses are type-specific

An engineer licensed on one aircraft type cannot simply work on another. Type ratings determine who can sign off maintenance on your fleet.

Airside clearance takes weeks

Background checks and airport passes add lead time, so a candidate who can start immediately usually cannot start airside immediately.

Licensed engineers are globally scarce

The shortage of licensed maintenance engineers is worldwide and structural, with retirements outpacing new license holders.

Operations run to a 24/7 schedule

Shift patterns around flight schedules, including nights and public holidays, rule out a substantial share of candidates.

Services that fit aviation hiring

Aviation clients typically combine permanent recruitment for licensed roles with contract and volume hiring for ground operations.

Questions, answered

The things hiring teams in this sector usually want to know before we start.

Do you verify engineering licenses, certifications, and type ratings?

Yes. We verify professional licenses, engineering certifications, aircraft type ratings, regulatory credentials, and certification validity as part of our screening process. Candidates are assessed against your specific operational, engineering, maintenance, and compliance requirements before being presented for consideration.

Company-specific authorizations and continuation training remain your responsibility as the operator.

Do you account for airport security and airside clearance requirements?

Yes. Our recruitment process incorporates security clearance eligibility, background screening, regulatory requirements, and onboarding timelines to help organizations plan workforce deployment more accurately.

Where applicable, candidates with existing clearances and relevant authorizations are identified during the screening process, so the timeline reflects when someone can actually work rather than when they accept.

Can you recruit aviation and aerospace teams at scale?

Absolutely. We support high-volume recruitment for airlines, MRO providers, aerospace manufacturers, airports, ground handling operators, and aviation service organizations. Our workforce solutions are designed to help organizations scale operations efficiently while maintaining safety, compliance, and quality standards.

Ground operations hiring runs as continuous sourcing against weekly targets with cohort onboarding. Seasonal schedule peaks are planned the same way.

Do you recruit for aerospace manufacturing and engineering roles?

Yes. We recruit aerospace engineers, aircraft maintenance engineers, avionics technicians, quality assurance specialists, manufacturing engineers, production managers, supply chain professionals, project engineers, and senior aviation leadership talent. We also support recruitment for highly specialized and regulated technical positions across the aerospace and defense sectors.

Many of these roles require security or export-control eligibility, which we screen for upfront.
