Early technical hires for deployable reflectors

Reflect Orbital — building large deployable reflectors to redirect sunlight from orbit — needed a handful of specialized early technical hires whose skill set generic recruiting could not reach. At an early, fast-moving stage, a single missing hire in a core discipline can set a hardware company back months.

Source and qualify the specific early technical talent central to the company's growth, against a narrow, unusual profile rather than a broad job posting.

We ran targeted technical talent sourcing against the deployable-reflector problem, drawing on our own network in deployable structures and human spaceflight and screening candidates on the actual engineering problem rather than a résumé keyword match.

This is very specialized, low-key talent that generic recruiting never reaches. The result: crucial early technical hires the client credits as instrumental to its growth, including structural-engineering talent placed directly into their pipeline.
