Space

X was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today Space

X is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars.

As a Space

X recruiter, you will run a full desk with a variety of duties and responsibilities focused on the sourcing, screening, interviewing, and onboarding of top talent candidates to fill mission critical positions. In many cases, you are candidates’ first encounter with Space

X and it is your job to represent the company with professionalism, pride, and enthusiasm. We work in teams and focus on collaboration yet require a high degree of autonomy. While you are not expected to simply go it alone, you are expected to show initiative, take responsibility, and run with tasks to completion.

• Meet with client groups to discuss headcount, new requisitions, hiring strategy, and interview feedback.
• Screen candidates who apply to requisitions.
• Source candidates, including those not actively looking.
• Discuss screened candidates with client groups and recommend top candidates for interviews.
• Give tours to candidates before their onsite.
• Attend interviews alongside client groups to evaluate candidates.
• Once candidates are approved for hire, begin the offer process including initiating background checks, negotiating offer packages, and extending offer letters.

Some days you will have multiple candidates coming onsite for interviews and you will spend that time giving tours and coordinating the candidate experience. Other days, you will need to fill your candidate pipeline and will spend the majority of the day screening/sourcing candidates. No day is the same here and the pace moves fast, but ultimately your job is to effectively attract, organize, and manage the flow of the country’s most talented individuals.
