Every day, hundreds of our military personnel leave the service in search of civilian employment. On July 25, employers across the country are reminded to consider these servicemen and women as highly trained, qualified individuals to fill open positions in their ranks during National Hire a Veteran Day.
While legislation is in place protecting separating servicemen and women as they enter the nonmilitary workforce, the best way a potential employer can honor a veteran is to hire one!
Around the world, our military personnel serves to protect our freedom. While they are doing so, provide their returning brothers and sisters with the opportunities to pursue a career in the civilian world. Find qualified candidates for a range of fields from Information Technology, Engineering, and Cyber Security, to Sales, Marketing, Management, Finance, Healthcare, Skilled Trades and so many more!
