Best Practices for Recruiting Military Talent - and Retaining Them!
Presented by: Cathy Miclat
Many companies struggle with hiring military members / veterans. This can be caused by many factors, including lack of 'veteran friendly' branding on your website, where to find veteran candidates, recruiters not understanding military resumes, hiring managers not knowing what to ask or not ask in an interview, and what happens after onboarding. Let's discuss strategies for making your veteran hiring practices cohesive, focused, and successful!
During this presentation you will learn how to:
- Identify veteran talent
- Recognize their value
- Interview them well
- Onboard them effectively
- Retain veteran employees
