Executives: German arms manufacturers are looking for profiles like these
The situation on the job market is tense - the defense industry is an exception. A Handelsblatt survey shows what opportunities are available to executives.
Germany's job market is experiencing difficulties, with nearly three million unemployed people and a loss of around 15,000 jobs per month in the industry. However, the defense industry is bucking this trend, with companies like Rheinmetall and Hensoldt continuing to hire and seek new leadership. The industry is expected to grow until 2035, driving demand for qualified personnel, particularly in areas such as IT, project management, and engineering.
Headhunters report a surge in orders, with a 66% increase since the start of the Ukraine war in 2022, and many companies are also open to hiring candidates from other industries, particularly those with technical backgrounds.
