Abstract

Background & Purpose: Today, Talented human resources are recognized as one of the key factors in improving organizational performance and reducing costs in complex jobs. Identifying and attracting these individuals, especially in professions like piloting that require multidimensional skills, is of particular importance. The present study aims to identify the core competencies and selection requirements for recruiting pilot students. Methodology: This study adopts a qualitative approach and an inductive strategy, initially focusing on reviewing the literature on Talent management, Talent identification, and the competencies required for the pilots. Subsequently, semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine experienced pilot instructors who also held managerial roles in pilot training. The collected data from the literature review and interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis with the assistance of MAXQDA 2020 Software Findings: The results showed that the factors influencing the selection of pilot trainees include 9 overarching themes, 38 organizing themes, and 154 basic themes. These factors encompass various dimensions, including environmental (external) factors, organizational factors, cultural factors, job-related factors, selection policies, and validation of the selection process. They cover aspects such as individual skills, economic conditions, psychological and cultural aspects of society, and job and organizational characteristics. Predictors, including the evaluation of technical and physical abilities, cognitive, psychological, and social assessments, also play a vital role in Pilot Selection. The core competencies identified include psychomotor skills, aviation competency, personality competency, physical competency, cognitive competency, and social competency. These competencies are considered key success factors in the piloting profession. Conclusion: The findings of this research can greatly improve the Talent selection process for pilot candidates in the Air Force of the Islamic Republic of Iran, aiding in better policy-making and planning. The results indicate that integrating modern tools such as flight simulators, artificial intelligence, and psychological tests with traditional methods like biographical analysis can enhance the accuracy of Pilot Selection. It is recommended that aviation organizations adopt a combination of methods and comprehensive evaluations to assess various competencies of candidates. By aligning the selection process with the economic and social conditions of the society, organizations can not only reduce costs but also improve safety and overall performance
