Elbit Systems Recruits French Talent in Paris Amidst Tensions

The recruitment drive focused on engineering and technology roles, including artificial intelligence and information technology. Elbit Systems representatives met with professionals, some of whom have practical experience in the French defense sector. Many candidates expressed a desire to build their careers in Israel while contributing directly to national security by working in the defense industry.

This was the second such fair in Paris that Elbit Systems has participated in, following an initial event in April. According to Walla and Hamal, the recruitment drive took place despite French President Emmanuel Macron's critical stance toward Israel and alleged government pressure on Israeli defense industries. Elbit Systems is already in advanced recruitment stages with candidates from the previous fair and plans to expand these efforts.
