Want a front-row seat to the technology reshaping our world?

We’re not just filling jobs — we’re building the engineering teams that are launching things into space and reinventing how the planet powers itself. Protingent partners with some of the hottest names in space and energy, and we’re growing by leaps and bounds. That growth means real opportunity: the chance to earn serious money and to make a genuine impact on the breakthroughs that will define the next decade.

The way we do that? By finding our clients the most talented engineers in the market — and that’s where you come in.

What You’ll Do

This is a fast-paced, phone-forward role. You’ll live on the front lines of the market, building the kind of relationships that turn into long-term partnerships and repeat wins. Specifically, you’ll:

• Hunt for talent — source, search, contact, interview, and qualify engineering professionals against client requirements, then prep resumes and run reference checks.
• Market top candidates — champion both newly discovered talent and current Protingent engineers wrapping up assignments.
• Partner with Account Managers to retain and re-deploy our best people.
• Build a referral engine by turning every great conversation into your next great lead.
• Own your pipeline — keep candidate backgrounds and contact info sharp and current in our database.
• Be a brand ambassador — represent Protingent with energy and professionalism, and sell our services to prospective candidates.
• Communicate like a pro — clear, confident, two-way communication with internal teams and external clients alike, written and verbal.
• Know your market — stay on top of industry trends, our space and energy focus, and the emerging technologies driving demand.

What We’re Looking For

• A tenacious self-starter with a competitive streak and a drive to win
• Prior technical recruiting experience preferred
• A proven track record of building strong professional relationships
• Technical aptitude (a real plus — you’ll be talking to engineers)
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent preferred

What You’ll Get

• 50-60k base salary to start + unlimited residual commission on placed contractors — you keep earning as your placements keep working
• 100% medical coverage
• A high-growth environment where ambition is rewarded and your work has real-world impact
• The chance to recruit for the kind of clients people read about in the news

This is a full-time, hybrid/on-site position based in our Bellevue, WA office. Ready to recruit the engineers building what’s next?
