Employer Resources for Hiring Military Veterans
Setting up a Military Hiring Program is a valuable undertaking, although it can be difficult to know where to turn when faced with the question of how to hire military veterans. Hiring Military Veterans is sure to bring unparalleled value to your company in the form of Junior Military Officers, Noncommissioned Officers, and Enlisted Technicians. In order to best match military candidates with your hiring needs, it is important to not only bridge the gap between civilian job descriptions and military resumes but also to be fully aware of the many, many benefits of hiring veterans. To help with this, we have assembled a list of useful resources on how to hire veterans:
