The Rising Demand for Experienced Defence Talent: Scantec’s Role in an Accelerating Market
Introduction In recent years, geopolitical pressures and global instability have led governments to ramp up defence spending. In the UK, this surge in investment creates a ripple effect across the whole defence ecosystem—from prime contractors to specialist suppliers to support services. One of the most acute challenges emerging from this boom is the shortage of experienced, security-cleared talent. For firms in the defence sector, the ability to source, vet and deploy niche skills is now a critical differentiator. At Scantec, we have decades of experience working in the defence sector. In this blog, we explore the forces driving demand, the talent challenges faced by defence organisations, and why Scantec is uniquely positioned to help bridge the gap.
