At the upcoming recruitDC, we will host a panel of recruiters who are on the front line of recruiting veterans to help the community understand the challenges many veterans face and how each recruiter can add military hiring skills to their toolkit.
2. Military Hiring Panel
Many programs are geared toward
hiring veterans and we have a federal
tax credit, then why are so many
veterans unemployed? Many
recruiters don’t know how to
incorporate a veteran candidate into
their talent acquisition strategy.
We will hear from a panel of
recruiters who incorporate military
hiring into their talent acquisition
strategy and what they recommend
every recruiter do to meet this
veteran hiring challenge.
We are honored to have Colonel
David Sutherland, Special Assistant to
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff - Warrior and Family Support to
share with us his comments on our
veterans who have served and are
returning home to find jobs.
3. Our Panel…..
Chrissa Dockendorf, ICS, needed
veterans for her program. She had
no money, no resources and no
training on how to go about this.
Hear her key points on what she
does now to hire veterans.
Brenden “Bo’ Wright, VEECO
Instruments, knows what veterans
have done, what they bring to the
table and why so many are
unemployed. Why? Because he is a
veteran.
Mike Bruni, SAIC, has always
incorporated veterans into his
talent acquisition pipeline so when
his company wanted to stand up a
program he was at the forefront to
coordinate the effort.
