Q&A with Kristopher Gonzalez, Talent Acquisition

Q: What excites you the most about working at a company like Apex?

A: It’s a tie between the future growth and the product. We’re building an incredible product that has unique technical challenges. I’m excited about finding the right individuals that are not only passionate about our challenges, but also technically capable of delivering the best product on the market. We have to scale both the businessand the personnel simultaneously. The best part is our growth is fueled by our success and demand for our product!

Q: Why are you excited about space?

A: Space is essentially the next frontier and we’re currently at a unique time in human history where space access is becoming ubiquitous. There’s so much we don’t know about space and we’re constantly making groundbreaking discoveries about the universe. Furthermore, space provides a new industry which will create new opportunities for the future. Lastly, we have the opportunity to discover new things in space that don’t exist anywhere on Earth.

In addition, every hiring manager I’ve met with wants to provide the best experience for their candidates. Recruiting is a priority at the company and everyone is invested in the success of the company.

Q: Tell us a bit about what you do in your free time.
