What a weird way to say “We don’t like french people”
Which is particularly surprising from a French company
Not really. They have to deal with French all the time, they’d know to avoid them. 😜
Is there some “you need x% of foreign employees” law in France?
It would be more likely the reverse
The job posting is for the Netherlands.
Since they make weapons wouldn’t it be something about security clearances? Of course, I don’t know your dating life. That might require a security clearance as well.
It requires clearance to get to the secret rave inside the defence building.
They’re in the defence industry, so I understand why they put limits on nationality. Their selection is very weird, though. Even with security clearance issues, you’d expect a French company to put French citizenship on the list.
The job description is here. My guess is that the “TACTICOS Combat Management System” is being developed on from various offices, and that they’d like someone to either be fully local or be able to communicate efficiently with any other office (to prevent cultural communication boundaries or something like that).
It’s also possible this is some kind of passport thing. Not every country has passport deals with the same countries. If there’s a chance you need to be shipped off to a certain place, the whole process will be a lot easier if you have a passport that allows for a quick and easy work visa.
I also can’t figure out why their selection is what it is. But Thales is not really 1 company. Tacticos is developed by the Dutch branch (note that the location of this job is Hengelo), which means it is treated as a Dutch company for export control purposes, not a French one.
My guess would be that they have existing export contracts for new versions of Tacticos to these countries.
I suppose, but I’m pretty sure we Dutch and the French are allies, so I can’t imagine why a subsidiary of a French company in the Netherlands would have problems with French employees
I don’t think it’s the passport thing. The differences between European passports are minor, so in that matter you surely could accept all EU nationalities. If you really want the best ones, then Sweden, Finland, France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland are among the ones that bring you the farthest in the world, and those are not in the list, while Greece and Norway are less powerful passports, and the USA, Canada and Australia even less, and all of them are in the list.

Of course it could be one or multiple specific countries they want you to travel, but chances for that are low. Clearance sounds much more likely.
This is a forgein site offer and maybe they prefer french people working in France
Wasn’t France dropped by the USA for Australia two years ago?
Seems like a poor dating ad. Don’t ever date a Java programmer. They will treat you like an object. ;)
this is a common misconception, although the may ramble a bit, they are very classy
They seem kind of slow, but you can be assured that they will always make time for taking the garbage out.
I don’t really get how “overt racism in a job description” is programmer humor, but alright
I’m under the impression that those countries are more convenient for the company, either having locations or it being more convenient to arrange pay or something, based on the inclusion of American rather than an ethnic background.
Edit also it says nationality rather than Heritage, so it’s pointing to what country you have citizenship with.
I assumed so in the first place, but this post is advertised specifically for location Hengelo, Netherlands
It probably has to do with security clearance, considering it’s Thales.
so why wouldn’t it be citizenry then?
You do know, what nationality means, right?
Can’t expect them to be fair to ethnic minorities when they’re too busy warmongering in Papua New Guinea.
NO Sweden! Latvia? Forget it!
Fuck the Welsh
Welsh is not a nationality.
Neither is “English” then.
Correct.
I dare you to say that in Wales
