About the role

Vast is looking for a Recruiter, Internal Mobility, reporting to the Senior Manager, Talent Operations, to own internal candidate movement and contract hiring. As Vast scales the teams designing and building human-rated space stations, more of our strongest hires will come from people already here, and more of our capacity gaps will close through contract support.

A successful candidate will be an organized and responsive recruiter who moves internal candidates and contract hires through a defined process without dropping steps. This role partners closely with recruiters, recruiting coordinators, hiring managers, and People Operations.

This will be a full-time, exempt position located in our Long Beach headquarters.

Key Responsibilities

  • Screen internal applicants against role requirements and move qualified candidates forward.
  • Run the internal interview loop and keep the assigned recruiter and People Business Partner current on candidate progress.
  • Coordinate transition timing across the hiring manager, the current manager, and the employee.
  • Maintain internal job board postings and internal candidate documentation.
  • Responsible for contractor requests, vendor engagement, and conversions.
  • Track requests through to start, flag delays before they slip, and hand off to People Operations at acceptance for onboarding and worker lifecycle management.
  • Track vendor submittal quality, time to fill, and rate adherence, and provide the data for vendor reviews.
  • Report on internal fill rate, time to transition, conversion rate, and vendor performance.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 2+ years in recruiting or working/supporting internal mobility workflow/hiring process for a company
  • 1+ years of full cycle recruiting,
  • Experience managing multiple concurrent requisitions and stakeholders independently.
  • Hands-on ATS experience (Greenhouse)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with contingent workforce, or vendor management.
  • Experience in a high growth hardware, manufacturing, or aerospace environment.
  • Comfort in spreadsheets and recruiting reporting.

We calibrate level and compensation to the selected candidate's experience and demonstrated capability. We welcome applicants across a range of experience levels to apply.
