As many employers in the defence, aerospace and aviation industries battle to source skilled professionals, specialist consultancy Jonathan Lee Recruitment will be advising how to attract and secure high calibre manufacturing, engineering, technical and commercial candidates at DSEI (Defence and Security Equipment International) 2015 through the deployment of their ex-forces personnel.
The UK defence industry is thriving - worth £22.1 billion per year to the UK economy and backed by the Governments long-term Defence Growth Partnership economic plan, meaning it is critical for defence businesses to appoint the right people in order to achieve their strategic objectives. In an increasingly competitive recruitment landscape and at a time where the demand for highly-skilled workers is outstripping supply, the military experience of the specialist consultants at Jonathan Lee Recruitment provides an edge to the high-technology, internationally leading, defence businesses looking to secure talent to drive growth and competitiveness.
Matthew Heath, Managing Consultant for Defence, Aerospace and Aviation at Jonathan Lee Recruitment explains: With an experienced recruitment team including both male and female ex-forces members, combined with a track record in the defence, aerospace and aviation sectors, we have developed an in-depth understanding of the skills, experience and personal attributes required for many of the specialist roles in these sectors, including security clearance requirements.
Already this year we are seeing increased demand for people involved in development, testing and commissioning, manufacturing, maintenance, research and development through a range of product areas such as the design and testing of unmanned aerial vehicles; the build, supply and maintenance of naval vessels the development, retrofitting, service and repair of military vehicles.
Its an exciting time to be working in the defence and security sectors, and with our presence at DSEI we are looking forward to talking to employers and candidates alike about how they can transition skills and comply with the various global security levels.
With our access to more than 100,000 aerospace, defence and aviation professionals, we are well-placed to help organisations and individuals to align skills requirements to meet growth targets and compete for opportunities on the global stage.
