Our Space & Satellite Recruitment Specialisms

We support satellite recruitment across a wide range of technical functions. As part of our broader technology recruitment work, we help organisations hire for complex and highly specialised roles within the Space and Satellite sector, where deep technical expertise is essential. Our approach is consultative and focused on understanding the technical brief to deliver candidates aligned with both the role and the wider business context.

We work across the full Space and Satellite ecosystem. Below are some of the key areas we support:

Satellite Engineering & Manufacturing Recruitment

Global demand for satellite engineering and manufacturing talent continues to grow. We support hiring across satellite systems and payload development, as well as assembly, integration and testing, and manufacturing and production engineering roles.

Satellite Communications Recruitment

We partner with organisations developing and operating satellite communications platforms and infrastructure, supporting hiring across RF engineering, network engineering, communications systems, and other mid-to-senior technical roles.

Earth Observation & Remote Sensing Recruitment

We deliver recruitment solutions for organisations working in earth observation and remote sensing, including imaging, geospatial data, analytics, and mission operations. These roles often require niche expertise, and we focus on identifying candidates with relevant applied experience.

What makes us stand out?

We work closely with both clients and candidates throughout the hiring process. Our consultants combine market knowledge with established sector networks to identify and engage high-quality talent. We focus on relevance and fit, presenting candidates who meet both the technical requirements and the practical needs of each role.

Alongside our satellite recruitment work, we support hiring across a range of advanced technology sectors. Our experience spans space programmes, satellite communications, and related engineering environments, as well as adjacent technology fields. This broader reach enables access to talent pools that are often overlooked through more limited searches.

We support the full recruitment lifecycle, from initial search and selection through to offer and onboarding. After placement, we maintain regular contact with both clients and candidates to support retention and provide ongoing feedback where useful. Our approach is consistent, consultative, and aligned with long-term hiring goals.

Talent Operations Specialist

Clearco

Stephen (Principal Consultant at Tech Recruit) handled the recruitment of many of the vacancies in my teams at Agile Robots. Through his proactivity, close engagement, and responsiveness to feedback, we were able to successively refine our descriptions and zoom in on the right candidates. Stephen was a patient and supportive partner throughout and even went beyond his duties to provide advice on some internal recruitment matters of our young startup.

As the quantity of vacancies increased, Stephen was our reliable point of contact to the multiple consultants who handled the individual position. I highly recommend Stephen to anyone looking for a recruitment consultant in the technology and engineering industries.

Former Head of Controls

Agile Robots

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service provided by Karen Robinson. Throughout my interview and negotiation process, Karen went above and beyond to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience. Despite being located in the UK and recruiting me in the US, she always made the time and was extremely responsive, making the process much easier for me.

During the interview process, there was an instance where one of the interviewers did not join the call. Karen was quick to investigate the situation and promptly rescheduled the interview, demonstrating her dedication and commitment to ensuring a smooth and successful outcome.

Overall, I am extremely impressed with Karen's professionalism and level of service. She truly exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a seamless and stress-free recruitment experience.

Thank you for your time
