Führungskräfte: Nach diesen Profilen suchen deutsche Waffenhersteller

In Germany, the labor market is experiencing a crisis with nearly three million people currently unemployed. Industry is shedding jobs at a rate of about 15,000 positions per month, according to the Institute for Employment Research (IAB). This includes a significant number of managers, with the number of unemployed managers increasing by 14% across industries in a single year, as reported by the Federal Employment Agency to the Handelsblatt.

However, the arms industry stands out as an exception to this downward trend. Unlike other industries that are laying off staff, German weapons manufacturers are actually hiring and actively seeking new managerial talent. According to Handelsblatt's information and a survey conducted among several German arms companies, demand is high in several areas.

This article provides an overview of the managerial profiles that companies like Rheinmetall or Hensoldt are looking for, the benefits of taking on a leadership position in the arms industry, and the sectors where cross-industry applicants have good opportunities.
