Who we are

Disrupting a very traditional business

Demexios is a specialized :

                - Embedded RPO
                - Recruitment
                - Expert Consulting partner

built exclusively for the Space & Defense industries.

We were founded on a simple observation: traditional recruitment do not work well in highly technical, regulated, and program-driven environments. Space and Defense companies do not just need “more recruiters” — they need recruiters who understand the industry, the roles, the constraints, and the rhythm of programs.

That is precisely what Demexios’ expertise is about

A Space & Defense–Only Focus

Demexios operates 100% in Space and Defense across Europe.
We support satellite manufacturers, launch and propulsion companies, defense primes, ISR actors, dual-use startups, and industrial suppliers during all phases of growth from early R&D to series production and long-term programs.

Our recruiters are trained internally on Space & Defense fundamentals in order to perfectly understand the industry and its processes.

Embedded RPO / Sourcer

Our Embedded RPO / Sourcer model places a Demexios recruiter within your organization to manage recruitment from the inside. Before the mission starts, the RPO is trained on your processes, environment, and industry.

You then allocate their time and focus exactly where it creates the most value.

You decide how and where to deploy them.

Demexios vs TA vs Agencies

A Comparative Overview of Recruitment Approaches

Demexios Embedded RPO 

  • You choose the RPO: profile, seniority, language, market focus
  • A dedicated recruiter embedded inside your team, acting as an internal TA
  • Fully trained exclusively in Space & Defense before starting the mission
  • Can be allocated wherever you need (roles, programs, sites, countries) not limited to one vacancy
  • Supported continuously by Demexios founders
  • Ongoing coaching, best-practice sharing, and performance optimization
  • Access to tools, databases, and sourcing infrastructure you don’t have internally
+ Read more
  • Long-term pipeline building, owned by you, not lost after each hire
  • Every relevant candidate identified by Demexios is qualified, aligned, and added to your pipeline with interest confirmed
  • Ongoing performance monitoring and delivery guarantee
  • Up to 50% cost reduction vs agencies
  • 20–40% higher efficiency vs internal TA, driven by specialization, tooling, and support
  • No agency fees, no headcount rigidity, no performance risk

Internal TA

  • Strong ownership and cultural alignment
  • Full control over employer branding and candidate experience
  • Deep understanding of internal stakeholders over time

But limited by:

  • Headcount rigidity: hiring extra recruiters requires budget approval, time, and long-term commitment
  • Slow to scale up during peaks hirings and hard to scale down when hiring slows
  • Competing priorities (HR projects, reporting, internal processes) reduce time spent sourcing and closing candidates
  • Sourcing capacity constraints: internal teams often rely heavily on inbound applicants and LinkedIn only
  • Tooling limitations: procurement can restrict access to best-in-class sourcing tools
  • Lower outbound intensity: internal TA often can’t consistently do deep market mapping + high-volume outreach
  • Limited cross-border hiring expertise (EOR, local labor constraints, salary norms, compliance)

Recruitment Agencies 

  • Transactional, position-by-position approach
  • Expensive at scale (fees multiply with volume and salary levels)
  • Limited understanding of highly specialized Space & Defense roles
  • Incentivized on speed, not long-term quality or retention
  • Fragmented candidate ownership (same profiles sent to multiple clients)
  • Difficult and costly to scale down afterward
  • No internal pipeline built for your company
  • Minimal alignment with your processes, tools, or security constraints
  • Zero accountability after placement

Recruitment

We combine industry expertise, a global candidate network, and a risk-free business model to help you hire fast without long-term commitment or fixed costs.
  • 100% focused on Space & Defense
  • Access to a large, international candidate network
  • Very competitive contingency rate (Success fee only)
  • Direct sourcing, screening, and qualification by our experts
