Context

The defence sector is experiencing strong growth, driven by major national and European programmes for the Defence Industrial and Technological Base (BITD), as well as increasing defence spending.

At the same time, companies face growing challenges:

• Talent shortages
• Strong European competition
• Rapid changes in technical and leadership needs
• Limited visibility compared to larger groups

In this context, every recruitment becomes more critical.

A recruitment mistake can have serious consequences: team disruption, project delays, loss of credibility internally and externally, and high financial costs.

Securing key hires is no longer just an HR issue, it has become a strategic business challenge.

The numaH approach

For more than 20 years, numaH has supported industrial companies across Europe in demanding and international environments.

We believe that companies that recruit successfully over the long term rely on proven methods and clear decision-making frameworks.

We provide a structured and practical approach adapted to SMEs in the defence sector, using standards inspired by leading international recruiters.

Our goal is to help companies recruit with more structure, clarity and consistency over time.

• Clearly identify the skills that are truly needed
• Build a more structured and repeatable recruitment process
