  • Create and execute long-term strategies to source candidates and build talent pipelines for both current and future needs.
  • Actively source and engage candidates (the best candidates may not even be looking!) using innovative techniques.
  • Leverage referrals, leads, emerging technology, external recruiting partners and networking events to build our brand and talent pipeline.
  • Screen candidates while also articulating the Hermeus mission, culture, trajectory, and company benefits as appropriate.
  • Coordinate interviews and guide candidates through the process providing them with an exceptional experience from start to finish.
  • Maintain and ensure accurate records in our ATS, Lever.
  • Willingness to assist teammates in all endeavors to establish Hermeus as an industry leader.

    • Minimum Requirements:

  • 4+ years of recruiting experience for highly technical roles.
  • Previous time recruiting in the aerospace / defense / space sectors.

  • Experience with sourcing tools (not just LinkedIn Recruiter) and ways to innovate so that Hermeus stands out with how we attract candidates.
  • Experience with Lever (ATS) is strongly preferred.
  • Ability to not only recruit world-class engineers, but also be able to recruit through best in class candidate experience.
  • Ability to build strong relationships with extremely passive candidates throughout the industry.
