Between Veterans and Employers
RecruitMilitary, a leading organization connecting employers with the military community, plays a vital role in the professional lives of veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses. By partnering with a wide range of organizations across industries, RecruitMilitary helps companies of all sizes recruit, hire, and retain talented individuals from the military community. The organization focuses on building strong connections that benefit both veterans and employers.
Chris Newsome, Senior Vice President of Department of Defense Programs at RecruitMilitary, embodies the organization’s mission to connect the military community with meaningful employment opportunities. As a U.S. Army veteran, Newsome understands
the challenges that veterans face when transitioning into civilian life. This organization allows him to continue serving his brothers and sisters in arms by helping them find fulfilling post-military careers.
The organization has partnered with the NVBDC MVO Task Force to expand its support to veterans who are interested in entrepreneurship. With approximately 2.5 million veteran-owned businesses in the U.S., RecruitMilitary recognizes the potential for veterans to become successful business owners and is committed to providing them with the resources to do so.
RecruitMilitary’s primary goal is to ensure that every member of the military community has access to meaningful employment opportunities. To achieve this, the organization offers various services, including professional development programs, resume writing assistance, salary negotiation guidance, and military-focused hiring events. It also maintains a career portal that houses hundreds of thousands of job listings from companies committed to military hiring.
The organization’s hiring events are among its most successful initiatives, with over 100 held each year. These events result in tens of thousands of service members accepting job offers annually, creating life-changing opportunities for veterans and military families.
In addition to its hiring events, RecruitMilitary has been selected to power the U.S. Army’s Tactical Connection Program. This program began in 2020 and is dedicated to helping service members transition smoothly into civilian careers. The commitment to this program runs through at least 2033, ensuring long-term support for transitioning soldiers.
For those in the military community, RecruitMilitary encourages creating a professional profile and posting a resume on their platform. All services are free for veterans, service members, and military spouses, making it easy to connect with potential employers.
