recruiting and retaining Veterans is challenging

Recruiting and retaining Veterans can be difficult and intensely competitive. Employers routinely fall short of their Veteran hiring goals. In fact, only seven percent of Fortune 500 CEOs are satisfied with their Veteran employment efforts.

That’s why Randstad helps organizations create and manage effective Veteran hiring and retention programs.

becoming "Veteran ready" is key

“Veteran ready” doesn’t mean “military friendly." Ninety percent of Veterans seek out Veteran-ready employers, but 73 percent of Veterans think hiring managers don’t understand their military experience.

Becoming Veteran ready requires a workplace that matches Veterans’ needs, experience and skills with employers’ job requirements.

The Department of Defense found that a quarter of military spouses are unemployed – that’s roughly seven times the national unemployment rate. Of those working, more than half are overqualified for their current jobs and, to make matters worse, they aren’t earning very much.

Our Military Spouse Talent Exchange program aims to level the playing field by placing military spouses in direct-hire or contingent positions at participating employers while providing them with career development support. Do you want to participate?
