Project

End-to-end hiring delivery for time-bound needs

A fully outsourced recruitment solution for organizations with defined hiring goals,
fixed timelines, and delivery pressure.


The Luneus Project solution is designed for situations where hiring must move
quickly and cohesively—without pulling internal teams away from execution.

When organizations
choose a project model

The Project solution is a fully managed, time-bound hiring engagement where Luneus takes ownership of delivery for a defined set of roles over a fixed period.


Unlike a partnership model, which supports ongoing hiring, Project is designed for concentrated hiring efforts, such as program ramps, launches, expansions, or backfills, where coordination, momentum, and accountability are critical.


We manage the entire hiring process, acting as an extension of your team to ensure roles are filled on time, to specification, and with minimal disruption.

When organizations choose
a project model

The project solution is most often used when:

Hiring needs are time-bound and clearly defined
Internal TA teams lack capacity for short-term spikes
Stakeholder coordination would otherwise slow hiring
Multiple roles must be filled in parallel
Delivery timelines cannot slip
Temporary ownership is preferable to permanent headcount

Project is designed for short-term, high-intensity hiring needs with clear start and end points.

How the project solution works

Our project delivery model is structured, accountable, and execution-focused.

01

Scope and delivery alignment

We define roles, timelines, success criteria, and reporting upfront.

02

Dedicated delivery team

A focused Luneus team is assigned to manage the project from start to finish.

03

Coordinated sourcing and assessment

Candidates are identified, vetted, and progressed in line with agreed criteria.

04

Process and stakeholder management

We manage scheduling, feedback loops, and momentum across all roles.

05

Delivery tracking and reporting

Progress is monitored against the plan, with clear visibility throughout the project.

What the project engagement covers

Everything included in the Partnership solution
Hiring strategy and delivery plan
End-to-end project management of the hiring process
Dedicated project delivery team
Centralized candidate management (ATS-supported)
Regular progress reporting against milestones

This ensures hiring stays aligned to timelines, not ad hoc availability.

Project vs other hiring models

Why not use
a Partnership?

A partnership-based recruitment solution for organizations that want a trusted, go-to hiring partner for one-off or intermittent hiring needs—without the structure of a project-based engagement.

How is this different
from TaaS?

TaaS is a fully embedded, subscription-based model. Project provides temporary ownership without long-term commitment.

Who you’ll work with

Every Partnership engagement is supported by senior recruiters with deep market experience. Clients
work with consistent points of contact who understand their business, hiring goals, and expectations.

This continuity is what turns recruiting support into a true partnership.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer to the most common project solutions questions from U.S. space employers

Still have questions? Our team is happy to help.

Why not just hire internally?

Internal hiring works best when demand is predictable and timelines are flexible. Most Defense & Space programs don’t operate under those conditions.

When delivery timelines tighten or new scope is introduced, internal teams often don’t have the bandwidth or available skill sets to respond quickly. Project-based support provides immediate access to execution-ready capability without slowing down existing teams or overextending hiring processes.

Is this a fixed-term engagement?

Engagements are flexible and aligned to program needs. Some projects are tied to defined phases such as integration, testing, or system delivery, while others extend as program demands evolve.

The structure is designed to match delivery requirements rather than fixed timelines, allowing teams to scale support up or down as conditions change.

How quickly can a project be stood up?

Projects can typically be mobilized quickly once scope and requirements are clear. Because the focus is on execution-ready talent with relevant domain experience, onboarding timelines are shorter than traditional hiring cycles.

This is particularly important in environments where delays in staffing directly affect integration, testing, or delivery milestones.

Can project support multiple role types?

Yes. Project support is often structured around cross-functional needs, covering multiple role types within the same engagement.

This can include combinations of software, hardware, systems, and program-facing roles, depending on where the delivery pressure sits. The goal is to support the full scope of execution rather than isolating individual positions.

How do you track progress?

Progress is tracked against defined delivery milestones, not just activity. This typically includes alignment with program timelines, integration checkpoints, and technical outcomes.

Visibility is maintained throughout the engagement so leadership can see how work is progressing relative to delivery expectations, without adding additional management overhead.
