Veteran Hiring

Veteran hiring recruits people with previous military service and helps translate their experience into civilian roles. It may involve outreach, skills assessment and support for transition.

Example

A logistics employer helps applicants describe military planning experience in terms of inventory, coordination and operational responsibilities relevant to the vacancy.

What to keep in mind

Avoid assuming all veterans have the same skills, health needs or career goals. Assess each person's evidence and check local rules before using military status in eligibility or selection decisions.
