Review who we introduce
We surface pilots open to permanent work, with logbook hours, safety history, and salary expectations. You message them directly.
Hi Chad, we'd love to set up an interview for our Cape Town team.
Sounds great, I'm available Thursday afternoon.
Hire
Interview and hire off-platform, the way you normally would.
Welcome aboard, Chad!
Skyline Drones is excited to have you on the team.
Confirm the hire
Tell us once you have hired. A placement fee applies, confirmed when you subscribe. Lofft does not employ the pilot.
Why Lofft Careers
We introduce. You hire.
Every pilot Lofft introduces for permanent placement holds a verified CAA RPC. ROC and ASL sit with the hiring employer after employment — they are not a Lofft Careers listing requirement, and Careers is not a route to fly hire-or-reward jobs on the marketplace without those credentials. Pilots open to permanent placement add logbook hours and an incident/safety declaration.
Verified drone pilots, introduced by Lofft, looking for a permanent seat at a ROC-holding company.
Introduced, not employed
Lofft verifies documents and hosts the pool. Lofft does not employ the pilots and does not fly.
Direct messaging
Message pilots in the pool directly.
Pay only on results
A flat monthly subscription, plus a placement fee only once you actually hire someone.
For pilots
Looking for permanent work instead of contract jobs?
Lofft also supports pilots seeking a permanent seat at a ROC-holding company, not just contract work. Opt in from your existing profile, and Lofft surfaces your profile to companies that are subscribed and hiring.
No separate application or account. Your CAA verification carries over. Add your salary expectations, notice period, and logbook hours, and employers can message you directly.
Direct visibility
Subscribed ROC companies can see your profile directly, without a separate application process.
One profile, one toggle
Opt in from your existing Lofft profile. No separate profile to create or maintain.
Verification carries over
The same CAA verification on your existing profile applies here too, visible to employers.
