COMPREHENSIVE UNDERSTANDING OF INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
We possess an intimate knowledge of the industry and discern precisely which qualities draw the finest candidates to an expanding field.

Our approach is finely tuned to respond to shifts in candidate behaviour, ensuring we’re always keyed into what is most imperative and the unique motivational factors relevant to the candidates.
Who We Work With
We collaborate with companies that deliver technology, equipment, and critical solutions to the defence sector. With more than 35 years of combined experience, our consultants bring unique insight into the specific requirements, processes, and expectations that define working closely with the armed forces.
This expertise enables us to identify and attract the candidates who truly make a difference – whether it’s engineers specialising in weapons or drone technology, professionals with deep knowledge of military vehicles and systems, or contractors managing complex construction projects in high-security environments.
What they all share is the ability to obtain and maintain the necessary security clearances while strengthening your business in a market where confidentiality and quality are paramount.
Background Checks with a Focus on Security Clearance
Enhanced screening to ensure the right foundation for clearance
When recruiting for positions within the defence industry, Compass Human Resources Group brings extensive experience in conducting thorough background checks tailored to the requirements typically associated with security clearance. While we do not carry out the official clearance process ourselves, our screening ensures that candidates are assessed against relevant criteria and that there is a strong foundation for their approval by the authorities.
This provides our clients with added assurance and efficiency in the recruitment process when filling roles that involve specific security requirements.
