The website says the company has exclusively provided people based recruiting services for Part 91 flight departments for 55 years. It describes itself as a woman owned and led aviation organization.

For employers, API offers talent identification. It recruits aviation leaders, maintenance professionals, pilots, schedulers, dispatchers and other aviation roles. The firm says it has the broadest portfolio of fully vetted active and passive candidates in business aviation.

API WorkWell is an organizational assessment. It evaluates workplace health, team dynamics and areas of opportunity. Compensation consulting benchmarks a flight department's current and proposed pay plan. Outplacement support prepares employees who are leaving a business for workforce re-entry.

Job seekers can register as an API Registered Professional to be considered for jobs that are not advertised, with top employers. A third program helps people take their careers to the next level and gives expert support for securing a job.

The firm says it helps aviation organizations hire high performers by making cultural matches. It also acts as an industry expert on workforce issues, including the pilot shortage, diversity, attraction, retention and compensation. Quality and confidentiality are stated as core values.

Testimonials on the website come from flight department leaders, pilots, aircraft mechanics and outplacement clients. They describe API's matching process, its communication during searches and its support during career transitions. The website offers a booking page for a call and a contact form.

The company has been operating since 1971. It describes itself as the longest running business aviation recruiting services firm, a claim the company makes on its own website.
