  • Meet Muster: A Better Way to Explore Career Opportunities

Exploring your next career move should be simple, low pressure, and aligned with your goals. For many veterans and transitioning service members, the traditional job search feels overwhelming. Job boards, online applications, and automated systems make it hard to know which opportunities are worth your time.

Muster was created to change that experience, especially for military talent who want meaningful civilian careers but who are not targeting specialized technical roles.


What Is Muster?

Muster is a curated talent community designed for non-technical and light-technical military talent. It gives you a simple way to explore career opportunities with small and mid-sized employers. These companies value your reliability, leadership, teamwork, and ability to learn quickly, but they often struggle to reach military talent through traditional recruiting channels.

You create one profile, share the types of roles you want to learn about, and we notify you when an opportunity aligns with your background.

Who is Muster Designed For?

Muster is built for veterans and transitioning service members whose experience translates well into:

  • Operations
  • Logistics
  • Supervisory or team lead roles
  • Facilities and maintenance support
  • Customer service or customer-facing roles
  • Administrative, coordinator, or scheduling positions
  • Production, assembly, or manufacturing support
  • Quality support and entry-level compliance roles

If you have strong technical training or are targeting engineering, maintenance technician, electronics, or other skilled technical roles, our direct hire placement services are your best path. Those roles require a different matching process, so we encourage technical candidates to register through our core Orion Talent system.

Why We Built Muster

Small and mid-sized employers often provide strong career paths, hands-on experience, and the chance to make an immediate impact. What they lack is visibility. Many do not have military programs, brand recognition, or dedicated recruiters, yet they are searching for talent who can show up, learn quickly, communicate well, and lead from day one.

Muster makes it easier for these employers to find you and easier for you to learn about roles that may not appear on job boards.

How Muster Works

1. Create Your Profile

Share your background, skills, interests, and what you want to explore next.

2. Receive Curated Matches

We review opportunities from our employer partners and identify the ones that fit your preferences and experience.

3. Explore With No Pressure

If a match interests you, we coordinate an introductory conversation. You can learn about the company, the team, and the role before deciding whether you want to go further.

Muster is designed to help you explore, not rush.

Why Muster Works for Non-Technical Military Talent

Many veterans bring strengths that small and mid-sized employers value immediately.

Muster focuses on candidates who excel in:

  • Learning quickly
  • Leading small teams
  • Solving problems under pressure
  • Communicating clearly
  • Working well with diverse groups
  • Owning tasks and following through

These qualities are the foundation of high-performing teams and strong small businesses.

Your Next Career Move Can Start Here

You do not need to be in an active job search to join Muster. You can stay focused on your current role while staying informed about opportunities that fit your interests.

If you want a simple, low-pressure way to explore what is next, Muster gives you a personalized path forward.
