Job Description

Hermeus is a venture-backed defense aviation company reclaiming the lost art of rapid iterative prototyping to build the fastest aircraft in the world today. By prioritizing relentless hardware iteration, we deliver high-speed systems at the pace of the modern battlefield. We work with the Department of War to provide the high-speed capabilities our nation and its allies need to maintain a durable, asymmetric advantage.

About The Role:

This role will work closely with recruiters, candidates, hiring managers, and cross-functional partners to create and deliver an outstanding experience for every candidate while also supporting key HR coordination efforts to ensure a seamless transition from offer acceptance through onboarding.

Responsibilities:

  • Deliver a world-class candidate experience from initial scheduling through start date.
  • Schedule and coordinate interviews, ensuring seamless integration with candidate and interviewer schedules.
  • Handle candidate travel arrangements, including booking flights, hotels, and coordination on the ground.
  • Serve as the onsite host, overseeing day-of logistics such as check-ins, room setup, and candidate orientation.
  • Welcome and provide onsite tours to candidates.
  • Collaborate proactively with recruiters and hiring managers on scheduling, candidate needs, debrief coordination, and follow-ups.
  • Partner closely with the People/HR team to coordinate pre-boarding and onboarding logistics, including new hire communications, background check tracking, document collection, and Day 1 readiness.
  • Support onboarding execution by ensuring new hires are scheduled for orientation sessions, have the appropriate stakeholders looped in, and are set up for a smooth first week experience.
  • Maintain accurate candidate and new hire data within the ATS and HR systems to ensure compliance and reporting integrity.
  • Identify and suggest improvements to scheduling workflows, candidate touchpoints, onboarding coordination, and internal systems.
  • Requirements:

  • Prior experience as a Recruiting Coordinator or similar role in recruiting, talent operations, or HR coordination.
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience with applicant tracking systems (e.g., Greenhouse, Lever) and scheduling tools (e.g., ModernLoop, GoodTime).
  • Experience supporting onboarding, HR operations, or employee lifecycle processes is strongly preferred.
  • This role requires a 5-day-a-week, on-site presence.
  • Preferred Skills and Experience:

  • Experience coordinating scheduling and logistics in fast-paced settings such as HR, recruiting, operations, or related functions.
  • Proficiency in calendar management and Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams).
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to detail and organizational discipline.
  • Candidate- and employee-first mindset with a commitment to delivering positive, professional experiences from interview through onboarding.
