Job description

You know that moment when a client says, “We need an A&P who can be productive on day one,” or “We need a 5-axis machinist who lives in aerospace tolerances”? And you already have names in mind.

If you love the chase, speak the language of aerospace, and want a desk you can grow like a business—this role is built for you.

Job Duties:

Client Development (You build the relationships)

• Build and grow a book of business with aerospace OEMs, MRO/repair stations, manufacturers, and Tier suppliers—becoming the first call when a critical req opens.
• Earn trust with decision-makers and run strong intakes (shift, tooling, programs, certs, quality expectations, ITAR/clearance constraints) so you can deliver what the job actually requires.
• Negotiate terms, manage expectations, and keep the process moving—because in aerospace, speed matters and precision matters.

Recruiting & Talent Delivery (You find the needle in the hangar)

• Source, vet, and place hard-to-find aerospace talent across manufacturing and MRO—machinists, inspectors, mechanics, engineers, planners, and leaders.
• Recruit inside regulated environments: ITAR/export-controlled work, FAA/Part 145 contexts, and quality-driven standards (AS9100/AS9102, when applicable).

Sourcing keywords you should know

What success looks like

• Clients call you first because you bring options—not noise—and you can explain why the shortlist fits.
• You maintain a real pipeline (mapped targets, warm relationships, and passive talent ready for the next req).
• Your process is clean—fast feedback loops, accurate notes, and no surprises.

Requirements:

• Associate or Bachelor’s degree and 3+ years in recruiting/staffing, or an appropriate combination of education and experience, with exposure to aerospace manufacturing and/or MRO (full-desk is a plus).
• Comfortable with business development: targeted outreach, consultative conversations, and asking for the next step.
• You can qualify technical requirements quickly (certs, special processes, quality standards, regulated environments like ITAR/FAA).
• Modern sourcing mindset: you use AI/Copilot responsibly to speed up research, draft outreach, summarize notes, and keep your pipeline organized—without losing the human touch.
• Experience with ITAR/export-controlled or clearance-adjacent hiring, and staffing across multiple shifts/operations (work authorization)
• High follow-through: you run tight processes, communicate clearly, and close loops.
• Preferred: Existing relationships in aerospace OEM, MRO, or supplier networks

Skills (Tools/Tech)

• ATS/CRM + productivity tools (email/calendar, spreadsheets, Teams/Zoom) to manage a fast-moving desk
• Sourcing stack: LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, job boards (JSfirm, Avjobs, etc.), referrals, and proactive outreach
