Industry challenges and opportunities
As one of the largest areas of investment in the UK, the Defence sector is showing no signs of slowing down, having generated an impressive turnover that was in excess of £35 billion pounds last year. It is a robust industry, with a large budget and extensive global supply chain, offering over 300,000 people employment every year.
A resurgence of global security threats and subsequent growth of subsectors such as modern defence weapons, cyber intelligence gathering and defence electronics continues to enforce dramatic changes across the industry. In order to assist this evolution, companies will need to attract and retain talent with an advanced skillset.
How to fill the skills gapThe industry has lost its youth appeal. Over the last ten years, graduates with the relevant engineering degrees have become scarcer; specialist skills are now in short supply.
To find the talent required, recruitment has become an international business and proactive, worldwide search a necessity. Clients need recruiters who think differently.
Live global project tracking means we approach the best candidates before they hit the open market. We’ll also talk to potential recruits even if they’re not currently looking or have opted out of the traditional recruitment process – and negotiating a client/candidate win-win is one of our strong points, particularly in a market where the expert can dictate the rate.
Giving you the advantage in Defence recruitmentHere at Spencer Ogden, our Defence team offers industry specific services to large international defence companies as well as to very unique SME clients. Our consultants bring expertise into every stage of the product life cycle, and have the understanding to know the challenges our clients face. Each consultant spends time understanding the sector which in turn enables them to challenge clients about their needs for each role ensuring we find the right candidate first time.
Timely, effectively project delivery is our core focus. Our careful and diligent recruitment process will acquire the correct candidates with job roles that fulfil clients’ extensive requirements. A centralised project team based in one of our many global offices, combined with expert contractor care provide additional reassurance for all of our clients. From clearance issues to payroll or accommodation, it’s all covered.
With specialist consultants covering the defence industry sub sectors, we are always on hand to respond quickly and deliver a tailored recruitment solution that suits your requirements.
