Airbus steps up its quest for new talent

To support its commercial aircraft ramp-up and meet challenges in defense, space, and helicopters, Airbus intends to recruit more than 13,000 people globally in 2023. Around 7,000 of these will be newly created posts across the company. The new hires will be instrumental in supporting industrial ramp-up and Airbus’ ambitious decarbonization roadmap and preparing the future of aviation.

“In 2022 we welcomed more than 13,000 new employees within Team Airbus around the world, in a complex environment which tested our resilience and attractiveness as a global employer," said Thierry Baril, chief human resources & workplace officer of Airbus. "Following the success of our recruitment last year, we will hire more than 13,000 employees again  in 2023. We call on talented individuals from all over the world to join us in our journey to make sustainable aerospace a reality and to help us build a better, more diverse and inclusive workplace for all our employees.”

This new recruitment drive will be worldwide, with emphasis on technical and manufacturing profiles, as well as acquisition of new skills supporting the company's long-term vision, in areas such as new energies, cyber, and digital.

More than 9,000 of these posts will be in Europe, and the rest throughout the company’s global network. A third of the total recruitment will be allocated to recent graduates.

Airbus currently employs more than 130,000 people across its businesses worldwide. Airbus was recently awarded Top Employers certification in Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific by the Top Employers Institute, a global independent authority on recognizing excellence in people management and HR policies.
