Aerospace Recruiters and Executive Search

We are recruiting experts for aerospace

The aerospace industry requires talent that can keep the advancements in aviation and space exploration flying high. Finding the right recruitment agency and executive search firm that can understand the many complexities and high stakes involved within aerospace can be a tough task.

180 Engineering partners with many aerospace clients and is viewed as a recruitment firm that can handle the most complex and challenging of searches. Our team takes time to sit with the hiring managers to ensure that every candidate we present matches the skills and experience needed to be successful in the role. Every candidate we present must pass a technical screen with a recruiter from our team to ensure he or she has the engineering experience required by our clients.

Case Study

The Challenge

A global leader in Inflight Entertainment was in need of a Program Manager that would oversee the integration of the IFE systems onboard commercial aircraft, FAA certification, and be customer facing with the major airlines. The search difficulty was compounded by the fact that the deadline for integration was fast approaching and their current recruiting vendors were failing them.

The Solution

The Head of Talent Acquisition remembered the contact information he received from 180 Engineering during an initial meeting and decided that he needed to give them a try as his current vendors were no longer producing any new candidates. The account manager met with the hiring team to gain a thorough understanding of the experience needed for this role.

The Outcome

Soon after that intake meeting, the recruitment team had sourced several PMs that all had the rare combination of IFE integration, STC certification and customer facing experience. 180 Engineering not only filled the vacancy for several Program Managers, they also ended up placing the Director of the PMO for this group.

I had a wonderful experience working with 180 Engineering, specifically with Dana Straple. The position was a government job in the IT dept. Dana reached out to me to with the job description and mentioned that my experience would be a good fit. She got me an interview with the hiring managers and the decision makers. Each step of the way, she was in constant communication as to what was going on and what the decision makers were thinking. Due to the nature of some/most or at least this specific government position, the hiring process took about 6-8weeks. During that waiting time, Dana was in constant communication with me and ensured that I was going to get hired for the position but the approval process had several steps. Once I received the official offer, she walked me through that process and was still in constant communication even after the HR process, which was also a pleasant experience.
I would recommend 180 Engineering since my experience with Dana was a positive one!
I have been dealing with Matt Armintrout in seeking a position and it has been extremely rewarding! Matt is not only highly professional and informative, but also understanding and shows extreme compassion towards my movement in the market. He offered to revise my resume and did a fantastic job. He's been a true partner in this process. I highly recommend 180 Engineering and Matt Armintrout.
I would highly recommend 180 Engineering. Adam was able to match an employer to my skill set It had been many years since my last interview and Adam helped me prepare for the entire process. I was quickly interviewed and hired. Thanks for everything.
I worked with 180 Engineering for my job placement / interview process.

My recruiter (TJ) was great, and he helped me to stay in the loop throughout the interview and hiring processes. He gave me some guidance on the broader elements of the interview (how many rounds to expect, what type of interview each round would be, etc.), and he was a proactive communicator throughout the process.

The other folks that I worked with at 180 Engineering were similarly communicative, and they facilitated the travel planning + reimbursements processes well.

Overall, they made the interview, communication, and hiring pipeline seamless and straightforward.
Great people, helped me through the entire recruiting process and made sure I was well taken care of during it. Adam was my recruiter. He did a fantastic job making sure I was prepared for everything and that the company was getting back to me quickly.
TJ was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. He kept in great touch and was very responsive. His dedication helped me land a better opportunity for me and my family!
TJ was always very prompt and professional at getting answers about the role and benefits. When he was out of office they had another recruiter (Patrick) fill in so they was no lapse in conversations. Overall was a very pleasant experience to work with the 180 team!

Thank you!
My experience has been positive. So far I have had the opportunity to work with Tim and Jenny. They are both very responsive and supportive with my journey as a contractor. The company that I contracted with “VulcanForms” is truly a great company to work for. I am thankful for this opportunity.
