Technical Recruiter

At REGENT, we’re on a mission to revolutionize regional transportation between coastal cities. We're not just building vehicles, we're creating a new category of transportation: the Seaglider. These groundbreaking wing-in-ground-effect craft travel just above the water’s surface, combining the speed of an airplane with the low operating costs of a boat. Capable of 180 miles at 180 mph on today's battery tech (and up to 400 miles with next-gen batteries), Seagliders will unlock fast, affordable, and sustainable coastal transit for passengers and cargo - connecting cities, islands, and communities like never before. Backed by leading investors and powered by a team of passionate, forward-thinking engineers, builders, and operators, we’re now scaling from a breakthrough prototype to full production - and building the team to make it happen.

Overview: We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter to help us hire the world-class talent that will bring our Seagliders into reality. In this role, you’ll partner closely with engineering and operations leaders to source, engage, and close top-tier candidates across a range of technical functions. This is a high-impact role that combines strategy, execution, and storytelling - and it's a unique opportunity to join a mission-driven company at a pivotal stage of growth. As part of the People team, you’ll join a group of thoughtful, driven, and collaborative builders who approach People work with the same rigor and creativity as a product team. We move quickly, think intentionally, and take pride in crafting systems, experiences, and processes that truly support the people behind our mission. If you’re energized by scaling organizations, solving complex human challenges, and helping teams thrive in high-growth environments - you’ll be in the right place, and we’d be excited to have you on the team. Note: Our preference is for someone based in the Rhode Island area or willing to relocate. We'll also consider exceptional remote candidates who can travel regularly to our Rhode Island headquarters, recruiting events, career fairs, and other hiring activities. 🔧 What You’ll Do Partner closely with hiring managers to define what great looks like, shape hiring strategies, and build exceptional teams across engineering, manufacturing, operations, and beyond.

Build proactive talent pipelines through creative sourcing, referrals, networking, events, and relationship-building with exceptional candidates. Lead candidates through every stage of the hiring process, providing thoughtful guidance, timely communication, and an experience that reflects who we are as a company.

At REGENT, no two searches are the same. One week you might be hiring an aerospace engineer, the next a manufacturing technician, software team leader, or another critical role. You love learning quickly, figuring out what great looks like, and finding the right person. You know the best candidates rarely come to you. You're exceptional at finding, engaging, and building relationships with hard-to-reach talent, using creativity, persistence, and every tool available to solve the problem. You thrive in fast-moving environments. You've recruited end-to-end at a startup, growth-stage company, or similarly dynamic organization, and you're comfortable navigating change, ambiguity, and shifting priorities.
