The Opportunity

You know how to recruit. But do you really know Space?

Finding an engineer is one thing.

Finding someone who understands spacecraft integration, propulsion, avionics, GNC, RF, flight software or satellite operations — and knowing whether they're actually good — is something entirely different.

Ian Stammers Talent Advisory has partnered with EVONA, who work exclusively across the global space ecosystem, supporting companies as they design, build, launch and operate the technologies shaping the future of space.

We're building a global bench of experienced Contract Space Recruiters who can join us when clients need additional support.

Not generalist recruiters who would like to get into space.

Recruiters who already know it. 

What You Could Be Recruiting

Assignments could cover specialist positions across:

• AIT Engineering

• Avionics

• GNC

• Propulsion

• RF

• Flight Software

• Systems Engineering

• Manufacturing

• Mission Operations

• Commercial

• Executive Leadership

Who We're Looking For

We're deliberately keeping geography open.

You could be based in the US, UK, Europe, Eastern Europe, South America, Asia or elsewhere.

What matters is your track record and your ability to work predominantly around US time zones.

We're particularly interested in recruiters with:

• A proven track record recruiting within Space / NewSpace / Satcom

• Strong technical sourcing and headhunting capability

• Experience recruiting specialist engineering and/or leadership positions

• Confidence using LinkedIn Recruiter and other sourcing platforms

• The ability to understand complex technical requirements quickly

• Strong candidate qualification and screening skills

• Experience working independently in a remote environment

• Excellent written and verbal English

• Flexibility to work predominantly US business hours

Why Join the Bench?

Access specialist space assignments without having to win every client yourself.

Work remotely from anywhere, alongside people who understand the sector, while building relationships with some of the world's most exciting NewSpace companies.

Assignments typically begin at around 3 months, with successful contracts potentially extending to 12 months depending on delivery and client requirements.
