OrbitJob finds, qualifies and delivers commercial, software and mission-operations candidates for space, satellite and geospatial companies. From open role to qualified candidate conversations in 15 business days.
Job boards reach people who are looking. The candidates you actually need are running someone else's constellation right now — and they don't browse listings.
Generalist recruiters can't tell a ground-segment engineer from a web developer with "Python" on their CV — or a government-sales operator from a SaaS rep.
An unfilled BD, mission-ops or flight-software seat isn't an HR metric. It's slipped milestones, missed bids and a roadmap on hold.
We don't cover every aerospace discipline. We go deep on the roles that decide whether a space company grows.
Sourced beyond the obvious pool. The best candidates often sit in adjacent sectors — defence software, aviation, telecom, robotics, industrial systems, GIS and enterprise SaaS. Our search maps them too.
Role-calibration session with the hiring leader. Search strategy, adjacent talent pools, must-haves vs. trainables, eligibility constraints.
75–150 potentially relevant professionals mapped: who they are, where they work, what they cost, who's hiring them away. Ranked shortlist of 15–25.
Direct approach to the strongest 30–60. Initial qualification interviews: interest, compensation, location, availability, motivation to move.
5–10 interested, pre-qualified candidate introductions — each with a full Fit Card and the reasons they match your role.
Every sprint also ships a competitor talent map — where suitable people currently work — and stays yours regardless of outcome.
Where the talent sits. What it costs. Which competitors it's leaving, and why. OrbitJob searches are built on a structured Space Skills Graph — industry, subsystem, mission stage, function, environment and eligibility — so you get a picture of the market, not a pile of CVs.
Retained executive search available for leadership and rare-specialist appointments. Free job listings for all space companies — the board is on us.
