Talent intelligence for space

The intelligence and sourcing engine that decides who gets to orbit, on time.

In space the technology is not the differentiator. The people are, and they barely exist. This is the live map of who is building in the sector and where the specialist talent runs thinnest, read daily from public hiring. Company level intelligence is reserved for each company's leadership team. Get in touch for access →

I Where the demand concentrates

The market is not short of engineers. It is short of the right ones.

Live open engineering roles across the tracked sector, grouped by discipline, and the geographic clusters where hiring concentrates. The scarcest pool is marked. Company level intelligence is reserved for each company's leadership team.

Open roles by discipline
Reading it. The marked row is the scarcest specialism, the pool small enough to count. Volume job boards rarely reach it. That is the seat we are built to fill.
Hiring clusters
The market in numbers

Eight disciplines, very different depth of bench.

Open engineering roles across the tracked sector, and how many companies are competing for each specialism. The scarcer the pool, the less a job board can do for you.

How it works

One platform. The data that makes the rest possible.

At AstroTalent, we track hundreds of open roles, and the people who can fill them, across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific. That data drives four things.

01

Workforce strategy

We turn your technical roadmap into a hiring plan: who you need, in what order, where they physically exist, and where you will struggle. On day one, not six months late.

02

Exclusion search

We start with the entire market, every person who could do the job, and rule people out until only the ones who can are left. Often 65 of the only 100 who exist.

03

First-principles assessment

We assess against the work, not a CV. By the time you meet a finalist, you know they have solved your exact problem and put something into space.

04

Leadership hires

The seats your investors are really betting on. We once placed a programme manager who, eighteen months later, was a COO running over $200m in contracts.

Why it is hard

For a single senior role, the qualified pool is small enough to count.

II The intelligence

The map is the market. The intelligence is the edge.

The named roles, the scarcest disciplines and who is actually available sit behind the map. We share a company's live intelligence with its own leadership, and we run retained search on the seats that decide whether the date holds. Fifteen minutes covers your hardest ones.
