We find talent you never imagined was available.

Frank Jay & Associates is a retained executive search firm focused on the airline, aviation, aerospace and related industries.

We know that the best airlines, aviation and aersopace compa-nies are created through strong leaders working in unison with strong teams. Whether at the C Level or in the management of functional units, we focus on bringing the best executives with the right tools to our clients. We are a retained executive search firm that has focused on the airline, aviation, and aerospace in-dustries for more than 20 years. Our partners believe in these industries and recognize the value they bring to the economy and the world. We understand the various companies operat-ing throughout the aviation industry, their strategic positions, strengths and weaknesses and the quality of the people within those companies. We know the executive responsibilities within these companies, from flight operations to maintenance, manu-facturing to production, marketing to planning, and everything in between.

Frank Jay & Associates utilizes this aviation industry focus and 20 years in existence to provide our services in the most time efficient and cost effective means possible. We strive to achieve successful completion of our searches within the client’s request-ed timeline, whether that timeline is as short as two weeks or as long as 60 days.

Frank Jay & Associates knows airlines, aviation and aerospace and we know where to find the best executives for these indus-tries.

Who We Are

Frank Jay & Associates operates under the simple premise that top notch companies require the very best management teams, working in concert with empowered boards and employees. Everything we do in executive search is geared toward building strong aviation and aerospace companies and the organizations that support them.

Size is not the defining criterion of our client base; rather it is the individual client’s commitment to success that drives our work. Ac-cordingly, we are pleased to undertake relevant assignments for cli-ents who share our commitment to the airline, aerospace and avia-tion sector and its causes.

Our work. Our services are tightly focused on the airline, aviation and aerospace industries and the organizations that support them. Our search work is conducted at the behest of the board, investors, senior and mid-level management. Most often, our assignments en-tail recruiting a new Director, Vice President or Senior executive for the enterprise.

Our Backgrounds. Collectively, we have decades of relevant ex-perience conducting searches specifically for airline, aviation and aerospace companies, as well as working within those companies both on a consulting basis and in management. Our professional skills and judgment have been honed through work with everything from major airlines to fractional aircraft leasing companies, aircraft manufacturers to MROs. We have conducted searches for heads of maintenance and heads of flight operations, presidents of caterers and presidents of OEMs.

Our Values. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We are responsive and respectful in all our dealings. We are humble about what we do not know. We strive for excellence in all that we do.

Our Approach. We start with the strategy. All of our work em-phasizes the links between strategy, mission, people and processes. Because financial resources are always at a premium for the client we serve, we maintain a conscious balance between process and prag-matism. There is no substitute for preparation and hard work.

What We Do

Frank Jay & Associates is commited to sustainable excellence in the governance, leadership and management of airlines, avia-tion and aerospace organizations. We provide retained executive search services from the middle-management to senior levels. If you are a mid to senior level executive interested in locating the best executives for your organization, please contact us for a con-fidential exploratory discussion.

Executive Search

We help our clients identify and attract the best possible candi-dates for leadership by combining:

• the business disciplines and research tools of traditional ex-ecutive search;

• the passion, tenacity and commitment to mission that is much more common in a small, industry-specific boutique search firm;

• the creativity to frame our searches in new ways, never set-tling for the “obvious” alternatives.

At Frank Jay & Associates, we limit our workload to just a few assignments at a time--in fact, a fraction of the number required of consultants in the huge global firms or muddled contingency firms. By concentrating on a handful of committed clients, we offer unparalleled attention and responsiveness to every client’s needs.

Our Fees

We charge a fixed retainer for every assignment, and we bill that retainer over the expected life of the project.

For executive search assignments, we establish a fixed fee for each assignment. We then bill that fee in three monthly install-ments. Signing of the search assignment contract constitutes our authority to proceed with the search.

We specifically do not charge a percentage of salary for executive searches, as we believe it is inappropriate for a search consultant to have a vested personal interest in the size of the compensation package being negotiated. Our incentive for a successful search is professional, not compensatory.

In return for your commitment to our fixed fee, we commit to continuing our efforts on your behalf until you are satisfied, as-suming only that you have kept your account with us current.
