The only test I've had so far was a normal phone call to verify my level of German. It was just a conversion about you, why you're interested in the job and if would consider moving to Leipzig.

This phone call business is a new thing for sure. My wife did not get the job because of her german (B2.2). She attended the full screening, made it through day 1, went to the SIM but the PFO came due to her German skills after the management interview.h

They are a joke.
Last year they invited some guys, type rated and not, who had zero knowledge of German language.
Some of those guys made through the psychometric test, English test, Simulator screening and interview.
It goes without saying that most of them spent a lot of time and money to prepare for the assessment, showing in this way an high level or professionalism and respect for the company they applied for.
During the final interview they were clearly told that German language was no longer a requirement, but the best has yet to come...
...right before their interview a newly formed union had been recognised by the company, and those guys were told that their hiring process was now to be submitted to the union for approval and you may guess what...the union indeed refused the hiring.
The company was then stuck as they did not know how to recover from this stall condition, hence very unprofessionally decided to write the guys that they did a good assessment but they did not have the requirements to be hired (how is it possible that the company called people who did not fulfil requirements?) the same requirements that were waived by the moment they were called in and the same requirements that were no longer required as it was told during the interview.
Needless to say that nobody from the top management was able and brave enough to apologise for the mistake of underestimating their capability to carry forward what was their decision as flight operations management, to hire pilots without German language knowledge and defend this decision with the union, at least for those unfortunate guys who were already called in and assessed.
They demonstrated to everyone that a bunch of guys part of this internal committee rather than a union, are more powerful than the top management and can easily override any decision the management makes.
This management leadership was definitely close to zero
They showed zero respect for the seriousness and professionalism of the pilots who invested time and money to prepare for the interview.
Everybody can make a mistake but everyone, especially in our job, must be able to recognise and eventually apologise for it, it would have been a huge sign of respect at least answering to some of the email that those pilots very politely sent to the management to express their surprise and shock, as none of them could never thought that they could have been victim of such a "scam" in Germany, country of which all those pilots had a very good reputation until then.
Finally it must be noted that all those pilots during the final interview gave the management their availability to study and learn some basic German language, as a sign of gratitude, even though the language was no longer a requirement as per what they were being told during the interview.
Aerologic's management lost the face and aviation is a very small world where "rumours" fly around very quickly.
Signed by.....One of those pilots....
