Elbit Systems, a prominent Israeli defense technology company, experienced a significant surge in interest from potential employees at a recent job fair in Paris aimed at encouraging immigration to Israel. Hundreds attended the fair, with dozens of candidates visiting the Elbit Systems booth to inquire about employment opportunities and making Aliyah (immigrating to Israel). This was the second such fair in Paris that Elbit Systems participated in, following an initial event in April. The company, which was the first defense firm to engage in this initiative, is already advancing recruitment processes with candidates from the previous fair and anticipates substantial growth from this activity. The fair's promotion focused on engineering roles, and Elbit's team met with professionals in artificial intelligence, information technology, and various engineering fields. Some candidates possess practical experience, including in the French defense industry. Many expressed particular interest in joining an Israeli defense company, viewing it as a chance to contribute directly to national security while building their careers in Israel. Shelly Gordon, Elbit Systems' Vice President of Human Resources, described the participation as "exciting and hopeful," noting the excellent candidates with relevant experience and a genuine desire to immigrate and contribute to Israel's security. She highlighted that ongoing recruitment from the prior fair demonstrates the potential of this endeavor, viewing the absorption of talented immigrants as a combination of professional necessity, strengthening the company's human capital, and a Zionist mission, with plans to continue expanding these efforts.
