RECRUITING SPECIALISTS
IN DEFENCE

complex recruitment processes
is our specialism

At Hays, we specialise in complex processes and industries. With the rapid evolution and increasing complexity of the defence industry, recruiting within this sector demands the deep knowledge and expertise of recruitment consultants, who focus exclusively on matching the brightest talents with defence and security companies. Whether you're looking for drone engineers, IT security specialists or project leads, we understand the complexity and the need for discretion.

Our consultants are supported by our vast network: We operate across 33 countries and are more than 11,000 employees, all working to find the right candidates for our markets. It gives us a unique insight into how talent pools are evolving across regions and markets, as well as providing a huge database of the very best candidates worldwide. We know the defence industry locally in Denmark and the Nordic countries, and we know when to widen our search – and where.

Worldwide we place more than 1,100 people in new jobs or projects every single day. 

And 36% of our placements are within IT and Engineering. 

Recruiting for both technical skills and human values

Our clients include smaller start-ups, local organisations and world-leading defence companies. We recruit for permanent positions, projects and executive positions

At Hays you'll get a recruitment partner, who can cover all your needs. We work interdisciplinary – this means if you're looking for a HR Business Partner for your Security company, you'll be working with a team of recruitment consultants with the competencies to both uncover the technical and theoretical knowledge, which your open vacancy requires. 

And we know that defence recruitment is not only about the hard skills of the candidate, but also about the softer values. It's part of our DNA to look at the whole person, who will be part of a new workplace, team and culture. We have been doing it for more than 50 years.

Our process

A great recruitment process is crucial to you, us and the candidate.

It's where we learn what is important to you and what requirements the right candidate has to meet – and how we can communicate the project and present your organisation in the best way possible.

We understand that the need for workforce and competencies is never simple. You want the just right person for the job, but you need the technical skills now. 

At Hays we offer headhunting, freelancers and total workforce solutions – meaning, we always have a solution for you.
 

Insights

We're not generalists. We believe in the importance of insight and knowledge of the world of work and our specialist areas.
