EXECUTIVE SEARCH
FOCUS-DEFENCE fills specialist and management positions in defense and critical infrastructure – sustainably and with a perfect fit. This is based on 14 years of industry focus, a robust network, and a process that combines proven methodology with tailored direct recruitment – discreetly and in compliance with regulations.
We understand the role, the environment, and the culture – as well as the motivations of suitable candidates for changing jobs. Leadership succeeds when professional qualifications and values align. This is how we find individuals who make an impact: professionally, personally, and within a team.
EXECUTIVE SEARCH – PERFECT DIRECT APPROACH
LEADERSHIP ADVISORY
We strengthen the selection, development, and retention of leaders in the defense sector. With executive assessments, potential/aptitude diagnostics, individualized development paths, and structured onboarding, we ensure impact from day one – perfectly tailored to the role, environment, and culture.
In addition, we refine role and competency models, succession and organizational design, and recruiting processes. This is measurable by time-to-productivity, stability/retention (12/24 months), and decision-making speed – in compliance and with a focus on the specific requirements of the industry.
Leadership is effective when role, context, and mandate are clear.
Career support
We provide individual consultation and support for your next step – in the European security and defense sector as well as for companies in critical infrastructure. Confidential, targeted, and with a focus on security clearance/classification requirements, reasons for changing roles, and the impact on the surrounding environment.
Access and context instead of mass applications: We refine your target role and positioning, prepare documents and interviews, and support you through the contract phase and onboarding – all backed by an established network. Everything is tailored to your goals.
POSITIONING. ACCESS. CONCLUSION.
Alliance Development
Alliance Development at FOCUS-DEFENCE connects the right people, companies, and programs discreetly and on a permission-based basis. Our leverage: access and context, supported by a robust European defense network. Goal: alliances that enable decisive action on projects.
We open doors for executives, conduct secret searches, and orchestrate targeted transitions – and consciously work collaboratively: Where partners are faster or better, we delegate and coordinate. We arrange interim assignments through a partner consultancy with proven expertise in the defense sector and support the handover; we also provide precise networking for temporary staffing.
Principle: Mission first, compliance-safe.
Result: speed, substance, less risk.
Access + fit: the right conversations, conducted cleanly.
