At Approach People, our strategic presence across Europe, with offices in Dublin, Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Geneva, Zurich, Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, and Dubai, enables us to provide comprehensive territorial coverage to meet even the most demanding recruitment needs.
This multinational presence gives us a competitive advantage in identifying senior leaders and technical experts for the defense industry. Our offices, strategically located in key hubs of military innovation and production, allow us to quickly identify the most qualified candidates, even for highly technical and confidential positions.
Each Approach People office has in-depth knowledge of the local market and the specific defense regulations of each country.

At Approach People, our expertise in defense sector recruitment stands out through a tailor-made approach that precisely meets the requirements of companies in the field. Our international firm has developed a highly personalized service model that allows us to support our clients throughout the entire recruitment process, from defining the need to the successful integration of the candidate.
Our recruitment methodology in the defense sector is based on a key principle: each client benefits from a dedicated, multilingual consultant who has an in-depth understanding of the specificities of the defense industry in France and Europe. This single point of contact ensures smooth communication and guarantees that every aspect of recruitment is managed with the utmost attention, from defining the desired profile to post-recruitment follow-up.
For defense sector companies in Paris, Lyon, and across France, our process begins with an immersion phase designed to gain a thorough understanding of your needs, company culture, and required technical skills. This step is particularly crucial in a sector where security clearances and specific expertise are decisive. Our consultants specialized in defense professions then translate these requirements into relevant selection criteria to identify the most qualified candidates.
The added value of Approach People lies in our ability to adapt our level of involvement to your needs: targeted search for rare profiles, rigorous candidate pre-selection, interview organization, or full support including salary negotiation and integration. This enables you to save considerable time in your recruitment processes while benefiting from consistent service quality.
Our firm provides you with dual expertise: sector-specific, with in-depth knowledge of defense professions, and geographical, thanks to our European network which enables us to identify both French-speaking and international talent for permanent positions in France. This international dimension is particularly valuable for defense sector companies seeking to recruit rare technical profiles or multilingual experts.
