Description
Thales Group, a French multinational company which designs, develops, and manufactures electric systems, devices and equipment for the defence, aerospace, transportation and security sectors, has announced the recruitment of 400 employees in 2025 at its Limours site. This decision is justified by the war in Ukraine, which significantly increased their sales of air defence radars. Thales is a leader in the radar market, which is crucial and expanding in Europe due to the ongoing war, and it needs to meet the increased demand for war supplies and materials.
This expansion is a first recruitment wave as part of a recruitment campaign of 3,000 workers in France in 2025, of which 25% (750) workers will have permanent positions.

European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
