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.
The German job market is experiencing a downturn, 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 hiring new staff, including leadership positions. According to headhunter Eva Brückner, the demand for qualified personnel in the defense industry has increased significantly since the start of the Ukraine war in 2022, with a focus on areas such as IT, project management, and sales.
Companies are also open to hiring candidates from other industries, particularly those with technical backgrounds, who can bring fresh perspectives and skills to the sector.
