The French firm had hired 9,000 people worldwide in 2021.

In France, Thales will be hiring 4,000 people on permanent or fixed-term contracts and 2,500 young people on internship and apprenticeship contracts, which are a key component of the Group's training and talent acquisition strategy. All 46 Thales sites in seven regions of France – Nouvelle Aquitaine, Île-de-France, Centre Val-de-Loire, Grand Ouest, Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur, Rhône-Alpes and Occitanie – are involved in this recruitment drive.

“Recruiting new talent is part of Thales's belief in the power of innovation and technological progress to build a safer, greener, and more inclusive world. Joining the Thales Group is becoming part of a team and working in areas that have a major impact on society. That can involve helping to defend national sovereignty and make the world a safer place, finding new ways to protect the environment, providing a secure digital identity for all, or bridging the digital divide by bringing remote populations access to modern communication services.” Clément de Villepin, Senior Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Thales Group.

Thales will be adding nearly 4,500 people, internationally, mostly in the United Kingdom (650) and continental Europe (1,200, excluding France), as well as Asia (630), Australia (300), the Middle East, and Africa (240), North America (700) and South America (160). Internal mobility opportunities account for a further 3,000 job openings, and close to 600 internship and apprenticeship contracts will be available for young people.

Thales’s common core of technologies – including artificial intelligence, connectivity, cybersecurity, and quantum technologies – significantly enhances skills development and internal mobility opportunities within the Group. For example, during the course of their career, a Thales employee could work on green aviation projects in the South of France, defense systems in Australia, and the latest satellite architectures in Italy. Most of Thales's projects have a strong international dimension.

Thales is a key player in aerospace, defense and security, and digital identity and security, and relies on 81,000 employees in 68 countries. Thales has a portfolio of 22,000 patents and five dedicated research laboratories around the world and invests €4 billion in research and development annually.
