ICEYE's rapidly expansion

Owning the largest constellation of agile SAR (Synthetic-Aperture Radar) satellites in the world, ICEYE empowers commercial and government partners to make informed data-driven decisions to address time-critical challenges when it matters.

Since 2020, ICEYE has trusted us for its talent acquisition needs. As ICEYE embarked on a significant expansion in 2022, requiring the fulfillment of over key 100 critical positions globally, EVONA was the chosen partner to deliver on this challenge. Over our partnership, we have placed over 155 professionals across the US and EU markets at ICEYE, showing our commitment to their growth and operational excellence.

ICEYE’s ambition to rapidly expand its workforce in the US and EU presented three significant challenges:

Scale team

The need for swift team expansion to meet ambitious hiring goals. 

Bandwidth

Limited time and bandwidth within their HR department to sift through applications and select top candidates.   

Diverse seniority and roles

The requirements of sourcing candidates across a broad spectrum of seniority levels and departments, from HR partners and Mission Directors to IT helpdesk interns and DevOps Engineers. 

  • “For our next phase of growth…we are convinced that EVONA was our ideal partner”

  • Our partnership with EVONA will set us up for success in our next phase of growth. We decided to work with them as we want to recruit the best talent and after we have spoken with EVONA’s founders and some of their staff, we are convinced that are our ideal partner. We look forward to overachieving together next year.”
