Description

On behalf of Raynair, the company Groundlink will look for 300 cabin crew members in Portugal, during July.  Since 2008, Groundlink has already selected near 8000 Portuguese staff to work for Ryanair.

Trade unions highlights that working conditions are not comparable between different companies and there are cases where the applicant has to pay for the whole process, which can mean several thousand Euro. In total, the candidates have to pay EUR 3,799  without having any assurance of being recruited by Ryanair.
