  • Map competitor talent pools and share what you are seeing in the market
  • Represent Starlink and SpaceX clearly and accurately in every candidate conversation

  • Experience sourcing hard-to-fill roles across more than one function, from individual contributor through leadership
  • Proven Boolean and X-ray search skills, including building and refining your own search strings
  • Experience writing personalized outreach that gets a response from passive candidates
  • Working proficiency with an ATS and at least one dedicated sourcing or research tool
  • Experience turning a hiring manager's intake into a searchable candidate profile
  • Experience mapping talent markets, including target companies and competitor pools
  • Skill at judging technical depth well enough to pass a calibrated slate to a recruiter

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
