Preventive vs. Reactive Hiring
As the weather cools down, hiring heats up!?
Recruitment projections suggest that as aerospace contracts are awarded, employee headcount increases. Most new hires needed for this workload expansion join an organization during Q3 and Q4. Ideally, internal recruitment teams should grow at the same rate as business development, but they often receive new resources last.?
Leadership aims for timely execution of hiring and a successful talent pipeline. However, hiring efforts often take longer than initially anticipated. If a company is reluctant to expand its recruitment team, it must consider the need for additional resources.?
Shift away from a reactive mindset by prioritizing these partnerships before expected growth. Third-party recruitment can help you develop your talent pipeline sooner rather than later, providing qualified candidates in a shorter timeframe.?
Furthermore, recruitment partnerships help prevent burnout and reduce the pressure on hiring managers and recruiters who are working to expand their workforce while maintaining their technological contributions.

Astrobotic’s Peregrine lander arrives in Florida ahead of Christmas Eve Moon-bound launch
November 1, 2023
The first payload teed up for NASA’s industry-led missions to the Moon has arrived in Florida. Astrobotic announced on Halloween that its Peregrine lunar lander was unpacked inside a clean room on the Space Coast after leaving the company’s facilities in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Friday.
The mission will be the first for both Astrobotic and its ride to space, United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket. President and CEO Tory Bruno said in a tweet on Tuesday that the launch time on Dec. 24 is 1:49 am EST (0649 UTC).
“It’s incredibly thrilling. We’ve been talking about this mission for 16 years as an organization, our first mission to the Moon, and now it’s finally here,” said Dan Hendrickson, Astrobotic’s Vice President of Business Development. “The team is exhilarated, anxious to get off the launchpad and ready to fly. So really, it’s a dream come true now that we’re here.”
Hendrickson spoke with Spaceflight Now on the sidelines of the American Astronautical Society’s von Braun Space Exploration Symposium on Oct. 27, the day that the Peregrine lander hit the road to head down to Florida.
