That's what the Alaska recruiting people have said.


I am not at all confident that the hiring team at Alaska and Smart Recruiters are "on the same page"
You're not the only one who thinks that.

Thanks for your replies! I understand that re-entering my info is the way to "update", but with my current profile I've already had a nice call with the recruiting team and it says "under review". Re-entering/making a new profile seems like going back to square one. But if that's the rules of the current game, then I guess it is the way to go?

Even if you re-enter you information the "In Review" does not change.

If you use the same email as when you originally created your profile it will "stack" your update even though it appears you're creating an entirely new profile.

To add to the confusion, I chatted with one of their HR recruiters at a general job fair (for rampers/CSAs etc) a few weeks ago and according to her, they are using smart recruiters to pull from initially, then you'll be invited to apply, followed by an interview invite.

Does Alaska have recruiters at the FedEx hangar for the "Great Alaska Aviation Gathering" this weekend, and do people usually dress up to go? Just wondering because the whole event is usually pretty casual.

It's casual. Just have your stuff organized and try to hand it to one of the pilot's (usually uniformed) at the booth. You'll get a minute or two to chat depending on if there is a line up, and that's about it. Of course talking to the BCP (if he is there) is best, but giving your stack of stuff to any of his minions will work.
If you show up to the FedEx hanger in a suit and tie, they will know that you're not a local. Don't bother with getting all gussied up for a minute or two of chit chat. It won't matter if you are in a suit, or in your Carhartts, you stuff will still end up in the pile to review.

That's what I figured, thanks. I'm a long ways off from being ready for AS, but I figured I'd start getting my name out there.

Anyone get hired last week?

Are they calling for interviews again? What's the latest, it's been awfully quiet.

Guess it is going to stay quiet.
