The context

How to offer an innovative and robust selection experience for candidates of high-risk jobs?

For 10 years, Air France had not conducted a recruitment session for its Cadet class (i.e., pilot students). Previously, pre-selection tests were conducted in large examination centers in the Paris region, with the program lasting several days. The organization, material, and operation of the program for several thousand candidates each year was very costly, both logistically and financially, as well as on a human level.

The idea

By integrating the complete digitalization of the pre-selection process from the candidate’s home, we created a better predictor of performance thanks to cognitive tests imagined by our researchers and designers. With total implementation agility, our solution also aims to be accessible to all candidates without location or time-zone constraints, increasing equality of opportunity.

The solution

Inspired by our cognitive assessments from the health sector, we have developed specific tests to detect the potential for exceptional abilities required by this high-risk profession. This customized system, based on exclusive Pepco technologies, includes tests of logical reasoning, mental imagery, cognitive flexibility, attentional capacity, and working memory. Combined with general aeronautical culture and English tests designed by the Air France Selection teams, the evaluation process lasts an average of an hour and a half.

This program integrates both the scientific reliability required by Air France (air transport belongs to the “ultra-safe environments” industries that aim for zero risk) and the necessary technical reliability: volume and control of simultaneous connections, software compatible with all systems, hosting on a dedicated platform, management and detection of potential cheating, specific and parallel data sets, etc.

The digitalization of the process has allowed for greater agility in its implementation (3 weeks versus several months in the past), and greater equality of opportunity: candidates can now take the examination from their homes anywhere in the world during a 36-hour window. For each selection campaign, several thousand tests are taken in 21 time zones, with a support team available 24 hours a day.

Great software! Thank you Air France for letting me try my luck!

Air France Cadets candidate

Beyond the satisfaction of Air France, which has strengthened its employer brand thanks to the buzz created by the test on social networks, we have received more than 760 positive comments from participants.

Following this success, Air France once again called on Humans Matter to design and set up its selection process for professional pilots (airline pilots working for other companies).
