About The Position

Skylo is expanding connectivity beyond the reach of traditional cellular networks. We work with satellite operators, mobile network operators, and device makers to bring direct-to-device satellite connectivity to smartphones and IoT devices—helping people and businesses stay connected wherever they are. This role is for a Technical Sourcing Recruiter to help Skylo find and engage the people building the future of connectivity. You will work closely with the recruiting lead and technical hiring managers to turn hiring priorities into focused sourcing strategies and strong candidate pipelines. You will own the front end of the recruiting process: understanding what each team needs, identifying promising talent, writing thoughtful outreach, and leading initial candidate conversations. This role is a strong fit for someone who enjoys hard-to-fill technical searches, brings structure to ambiguous requirements, and builds relationships with people who may not be actively looking for their next opportunity.

Requirements

Experience sourcing or recruiting technical talent, with examples of successfully engaging passive candidates for specialized or hard-to-fill roles.
The ability to understand technical requirements and evaluate relevant experience beyond job titles and keyword matches.
Strong research skills, including Boolean search, talent mapping, and finding candidates beyond standard recruiting databases.
Clear, compelling writing and the confidence to lead credible conversations with technical candidates.
Good judgment about candidate fit and the ability to explain your recommendations with specific evidence.
Strong organization and follow-through across multiple searches and shifting priorities.
A collaborative working style, openness to feedback, and the initiative to keep searches moving independently.
Familiarity with applicant tracking systems and sourcing tools, along with careful handling of candidate information.
