Staff Leasing Services
Leasing is a proven, highly effective model used by the aviation industry to engage personnel & crew. Providing value for both short term projects or long term staffing solutions.
Leasing is an alternative model for workforce engagement. By using this model you can create a customised solution for your operations through scalable engagement of the right personnel, at the right time. We help you build an operationally and financially optimised model for both you and the personnel who are engaged.
How Leasing Works
Rishworth Aviation recruits and engages personnel and crew. Rishworth Aviation works with the client to determine their requirements and once the personnel are selected by the client, Rishworth Aviation then engages and assigns the personnel to the client. The personnel will work directly for the client.
Rishworth Aviation will take care of the recruitment, logistics, administrative, pay, HR, communications and contractual responsibilities required for effective assignment of the personnel. This enables the client to focus on core operations by reducing your time commitment, the complexity and the costs in securing and managing personnel.
