Why Joe?

Joe Tomkins leads executive search at Matchtech Defence & Security. He has conducted, led and procured search whilst working for Ultra and Thales in-house global search teams. Joe has an exceptional track record delivering successful searches across Executive, STEM Leadership and Professional Leadership.

His first-hand experience being a customer with global and boutique Exec Search Consultancies ultimately left him disappointed on many elements of the service. That is why Joe is passionate about raising the bar on the level of service to ensure we do better for customers and candidates within our sector.

Why Matchtech?

There is a gap in the market for a company with the heritage, reputation for excellence and credibility in Defence & Security to raise the bar on search services. At Matchtech, we have deep, longstanding and meaningful networks with current and future leaders in our sector.

Matchtech’s standing has been built on an in-depth knowledge of industry, domain and skill-set which sets us apart. Identifying and attracting executive level talent requires this deep understanding of the defence sector, but also of your unique corporate strategy, values and mission. We use our combined expertise and network to complete a thorough search and assessment process to ensure a successful long-term fit for your organisation. Our goal is to disrupt the status quo in search, leveraging individual and corporate experience to simply do better...
