Special features & requirements for the placement of skilled labour
In the defence industry, special requirements apply to the recruitment of skilled workers, particularly with regard to security checks, export control law and technical qualifications. In addition to relevant professional experience, candidates must also be willing to undergo a personal background check. Furthermore, knowledge of military standards (e.g. AQAP, MIL-STD) as well as loyalty and discretion in dealing with clients from the security sector are essential. It is therefore necessary to liaise closely with companies and authorities and to be sensitive when handling confidential information. Zeitarbeit International fulfils all the necessary criteria for recruitment in the defence industry.
- Safety checks (SÜG / SÜ2 / SÜ3)
- Export control / ITAR / EAR
- Confidentiality & secrecy
- Defence-specific knowledge (e.g. MIL standards)

Certificates and safety regulations for international professionals
We are an international temporary employment agency specialising in skilled workers from Eastern Europe. We offer valuable assistance to the defence industry in overcoming their personnel shortages. We have well-established recruitment networks in countries such as Poland, Czech, Romania and the Slovakia and bring together qualified specialists and support staff from the fields of metalworking, production, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. We not only take care of the linguistic and organisational coordination, but also take care of the labour law framework and, where permissible, safety checks. We are able to bridge personnel bottlenecks in safety-relevant projects at short notice by creating clear contractual structures, acting flexibly and being ready for action quickly. In this way, even in a specialised field with high requirements and a shortage of qualified staff, the necessary number of employees is ensured.
We take care of the relevant certificates & verification of skilled workers from Eastern Europe:
- Work permit & residence permit: with authorisation to work in safety-critical areas
- Language certificates: (e.g. German B2/C1 or English B2) - especially for multinational teams or documentation in a military context.
- Proof of technical qualifications: z.e.g. IHK qualifications, master craftsman titles, university diplomas (may have to be recognised in Germany).
Our specialists fulfil industry-specific standards and training courses
- AQAP certification: (e.g. AQAP 2110) - NATO quality requirements.
- MIL-STD knowledge: - US military standards.
- Export control law: (e.g. Dual-Use Regulation, BAFA training) - important for specialists in international logistics or purchasing.
Specialists for the defence industry with international experience
Specialists for the defence industry with international experience are particularly valuable as they combine technical expertise with intercultural competence and knowledge of international regulations. They often bring experience from NATO projects, multinational defence technology companies or foreign armed forces and are therefore predestined for complex, cross-border programmes. Many specialists come from EU and NATO member states such as Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria and have similar military standards and the freedom of moving freely in the EU.
Technical expertise and training
Many Eastern European countries have strong technical universities and training programmes in the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, IT and production engineering. Specialists from countries such as Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary bring in-depth expertise and practical experience in the production and development of complex systems.Experience with Soviet-Russian and NATO technology
Due to the historical proximity to the Eastern European countries, many specialists have knowledge and practical experience with Soviet or Russian defence systems, which is still relevant in some areas in Germany and other NATO countries - e.g. in the maintenance or analysis of older technologies.Multinational project work
Eastern European specialists are often involved in multinational projects within the EU and NATO, e.g. in joint ventures, cross-border cooperation or with suppliers to large defence companies. They are used to working in international teams with different standards and cultures.Flexibility and adaptability
The often difficult economic conditions in their countries of origin have enabled many skilled workers to quickly adapt to new technologies, processes and working environments, which is highly valued in the dynamic defence industry.Language skills and intercultural competence
Many have a good command of the English language and, increasingly also German, which facilitates collaboration in multinational teams.
