Flying for Transavia
Transavia recruits pilots through cadet pathways and direct-entry first officer roles, often drawing on the broader resources of its parent group. Selection commonly involves computer-based aptitude and psychometric testing, a simulator assessment and interviews.
Candidates sit the COMPASS aptitude test and accompanying personality questionnaire — administered at the selection specialist EPST in Utrecht — followed by simulator and crew-coordination checks and interviews. The tests measure spatial awareness, numerical reasoning, multitasking and reaction under pressure, and practising these aptitude and cognitive assessments beforehand helps build the consistency the selection stages reward.
