Curating specialist defence talent

Our experience in providing staff to major Defence companies means we already know and trust just the right person to fill your next vacancy from our extensive candidate pools. Clients often comment on our perseverance; our consultants will support you through thick and thin and we don’t hide when the going gets tough. New clients and candidates usually come to us through referral. This is testament to the capability of our recruitment, onboarding, contractor care, and payroll teams and the strength of the strategic partnerships we build.

Niche hiring

As well as working with the large defence primes, our engineering recruitment teams work with a range of niche specialist engineering consultancies and technology companies across air, land, maritime and nuclear areas. This ranges from <50 sized niche consultancies up to 50,000+ staffing organisations which operate across a broader disciplinary and geographical spectrum.

Recent projects have included retained work for building a new team of senior leaders based in the UK with a security-conscious employer, preferred supplier staffing solutions for a global defence customer, and inclusive hiring programmes to welcome women returners and military leavers into defence and information security businesses.

What a fantastic job the team at Outsource do. I work very closely with the team and consider them a very trusted supplier. All are really helpful and supportive which in turn makes my job a lot easier.
