Why this matters for talent
A TIME Best Inventions placement is a brand moment, and for eVTOL recruiting that matters because candidates are still being asked to bet on a category that has not reached commercial service everywhere yet. It does not signal new roles by itself, but Joby's 151 open positions sit inside a company whose public profile keeps rising, which helps fill harder to recruit engineering and certification roles.
