It seems like you are always hiring people. Is there alot of turnover at your work?

Nope. The Space Shuttle program is over. NASA is handing the Space Shuttles job over to private company such as Space X (Which launched for its first cargo run to the ISS yesterday).

NASA's now working on Orion. It's maiden flight is December 2017, but it won't surprise me if Orion gets delayed again and eventually falls through the cracks.

This could be true. Then give a number of a friend of family member. Then they can give you the message.

We had no one leave since feb and then....management decided to fire 3 people and 3 got promoted. I can't hire fast enough. The company is growing and I can't keep up with the growth.

The space shuttle program as we know it, is over, but not space exploration. I wonder what Orion is about? Does it look like the Mellenium Falcon?

And only one person actually resigned and for a good reason too. She was here for a few years.

Orion's mission is to go to the ISS first, manned and unmanned. Then go to further space exploration, manned.

Orion looks like an advanced version of the Apollo capsules.

Chauffeured Services. I live in the DC area so unemployment is low and it makes it hard to be a recruiter.

I screen 200 resumes a month, interview about half, skills test about 30 people and hire 5.
