Ian Stammers Talent Advisory Limited

If you've ever wanted to play a meaningful role in the global space industry—but perhaps don't have an engineering background—this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

As a contract space recruiter you will be embedded into our space customers as an internal talent partner. These contracts could last from 3 months to 12 months or longer.
