Recommendation

Many US military veterans have proven themselves in challenging life-and-death circumstances. Veterans have undergone rigorous training and built in-demand work skills. Yet many organizations remain unsure about how to locate and hire them. Retired US Marine Corps officer and veterans advocate Lt. Col. Justin Constantine details who veterans are and explains why and how companies should employ them. Though Constantine wrote his book when American unemployment was low, his counsel will be particularly meaningful during economic hard times.

Take-Aways

  • Veterans of the US military can be ideal employees.
  • Most employers know little about the military. They often don’t understand veterans or know how to connect with them.
  • Employers with the best veteran-hiring programs have internal champions who promote and guide their outreach.
