DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF)- DAV and RecruitMilitary will host the National Virtual Career Fair for Veterans tomorrow, Tuesday, November 24th from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm CT. This free online event is open to all veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses and dependents.
Jennifer Hadick Director of career resources for RecruitMilitary said the event will have over 120 companies participating.
“Besides from the career event, we have over 250,000 jobs posted on our job board for veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses and dependents and about 25,000 of those jobs are in the state of Texas,” said Hadick.
Hadick said The United States Military strongly relies on diversity among its ranks with 43% of personnel represented by minorities.
“This widely diverse talent pool will one day transition from military to civilian employment bringing unmatched talent to America’s employers,” she said.
RecruitMilitary was recently appointed by the U.S. Army to serve as the sole transition resource for soldiers and their family members seeking civilian employment after military service.
The company not only knows the value of the military’s diverse ranks, but lives this philosophy as 85% of its employees possess a military trained or affiliated background.
“We’ve seen a ripple effect over the past few years of organizations across the country prioritizing diversity and veteran hiring because they see the value of bringing this type of talent to shape the future of their organization,” said Tim Best, RecruitMilitary CEO and former U.S. Army special operations attack helicopter pilot. “Companies realize that having their employees and leaders be representative of our nation’s wonderfully diverse population is critical to their success. And, they’ve discovered they can find that diversity, along with unmatched tangible skills and intangible attributes in the veteran population. Military-trained job seekers are an unmatched asset to any employer seeking diversity and hiring solutions with the most highly skilled and qualified workers in the country.”
