The recruitment woes are thought to have been triggered over the past 18 months by what the defence sources described as a"perfect storm" of negative factors, including:• A shortage of up to 35% of recruitment staff in some areas of the UK as navy reservists who fill the role have quit"in droves" because of concerns about job security amid a plan to bring in a new recruitment...
• An increasing number of sailors quitting the service. Poor retention has put more pressure on the need to recruit because"outflow" is outstripping"inflow". The source said:"As the smallest service - workforce wise, with some truly unique trades, connected mainly to submarines - failure in recruitment will have strategic implications at some point in the near future.
Official Ministry of Defence data, released last month, showed all three services were struggling with recruitment, but the navy - with a full-time force of just over 29,000 personnel - performed the worst.
