Recruiting Coordinator (Fixed Term) at Vast

<div class="content-intro"><p>At Vast, our mission is to contribute to a future where billions of people are living and thriving in space. Vast is developing next-generation space stations to ensure a continuous human presence in space for America and its allies, enabling advanced microgravity research and manufacturing, and unlocking a new space economy for government, corporate, and private customers. Using an incremental, hardware-rich and low-cost approach, Vast is rapidly developing its multi-module Haven Station. Haven Demo’s 2025 success made Vast the only operational commercial space station company to fly and operate its own spacecraft. Next, Haven-1 is expected to become the world’s first commercial space station when it launches, followed by additional Haven modules to enable permanent human presence by 2030. Our team is all-in, committed to executing our mission safely and on time. If you want to work with the most talented people on Earth furthering space exploration for humanity, come join us.</p></div><p>Vast is looking for a <strong>Recruiting Coordinator, </strong>reporting to the<strong> Manager, Talent Operations, </strong>to support the development of the systems that will be required for the design and build of artificial-gravity human-rated space stations.&nbsp;</p> <article class="text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [&amp;:has([data-writing-block])>*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-(--header-height)" data-turn-id="6077c522-c745-445b-b2cb-09de28a7426f" data-testid="conversation-turn-1" data-scroll-anchor="false" data-turn="user"></article> <article class="text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [&amp;:has([data-writing-block])>*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" data-turn-id="request-WEB:4db772af-fabb-4508-84dc-28dfd47701ce-0" data-testid="conversation-turn-2" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-turn="assistant"> <div class="text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] @w-sm/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] @w-lg/main:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)"> <div class="[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn"> <div class="flex max-w-full flex-col grow"> <div class="min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-1" data-message-author-role="assistant" data-message-id="2746be85-3df8-48cb-b79c-2a3f6f14da42" data-message-model-slug="gpt-5-2"> <div class="flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]"> <div class="markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full wrap-break-word light markdown-new-styling"> <p data-start="0" data-end="205" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">This will be a <strong>full-time</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>non-exempt&nbsp;(<span style="text-decoration: underline;">fixed-term for 6 months)</span> </strong>position located in our <strong>Long Beach</strong> location.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <p><strong>Responsibilities:</strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <ul> <li>Own end-to-end scheduling of candidate interviews (onsite or virtual) for both technical and non-technical roles</li> <li>Coordinate candidate travel and handle associated expenses as necessary</li> <li>Act as a partner for recruiting operations problems and find solutions through a mix of data, tools, and collaboration</li> <li>Streamline processes to improve both external candidates’ and internal stakeholders’ experience</li> <li>Manage clear, concise, and professional communication with candidates and hiring partners in written and verbal form</li> </ul> <p><strong>Minimum Qualifications:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Willing to work in-person at our HQ Office in Long Beach 5 days per week</li> <li>Bachelor’s Degree or 4+ years of experience in lieu of a degree</li> <li>2+ years of experience in recruiting coordination, HR Coordination, or other human resources function&nbsp;</li> <li>2+ years of experience in coordinating travel for candidates</li> </ul> <p><strong>Preferred Skills &amp;
