<p>We use on-shell methods to compute all three-point interactions of massive spin-3/2 particles involving a graviton and particles of spin ≤ 1. By employing the massive spinor-helicity formalism we identify the interactions which have a smooth massless limit as expected from the superHiggs mechanism. These interactions are then used to on-shell construct four-point massive spin-3/2 amplitudes using an all-line transverse shift for the external momenta, which correctly reproduces the contact gravitino interactions in the <i>N</i> = 1 supergravity Lagrangian. The on-shell constructed four-point amplitudes are also used to derive well-known unitarity bounds in supergravity. In particular, by adding scalar and pseudoscalar interactions to construct the four-point massive spin-3/2 amplitudes that scale as <i>E</i>² in the high-energy limit, we recover the on-shell Polonyi model with a Planck scale unitarity bound. These effective three-point interactions and on-shell recursion relations provide an alternative and simpler way to study the interactions of massive spin-3/2 particles without a Lagrangian or the use of Feynman diagrams.</p>
