The Chad | Change The Online Recruiting Game

Today DirectEmployers Association, a nonprofit trade association representing 600 major Fortune 1000 companies, is announcing two revolutionary platforms designed to help transitioning military and military families find employment while bringing trust and confidence back to the online job search process.

As a 20 year retired Army veteran I have experienced transition from the active military to civilian life and then demobilization while serving as an activated reservist on more than one occasion. I have seen my friends come home to downsizing and watched newly transitioned war-hardened soldiers struggle to find good jobs.

Conversely hiring employers across the nation have long been in search of a simple yet effective avenue which provides hiring outreach to skilled transitioning soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. Military jobs are classified much differently than civilian jobs making it nearly impossible for employers and skilled transitioning military personnel to connect in the hiring process.

Today DirectEmployers Association, NASWA and many other partners present Veterans.jobs a transitioning job network which starts to effectively answer this problem by allowing transitioning military personnel the ability to easily type in their Military Occupation Code plus the .jobs suffix, which leads to a site like 91j.jobs where only civilian jobs which match their military skill sets may be found. A transitioning member of the military may also start at the Veterans.jobs hub where they may easily choose their military affiliation and either search by their military identifier or keyword.

This job search process is meaningful and extremely targeted to transitioning personnel because it speaks specifically to their military skills sets and then provides ample and relevant civilian job opportunities across the nation on a network with consists of almost 6,000 sites strong and houses over 850,000 verified jobs directly from hiring employer career sites or participating state job banks at no charge.

Our strength at home during what seems to feel like a never ending deployment is our family and to ensure the military family members can provide while their soldier, sailor, airmen or Marines are away DirectEmployers Association, NASWA and many other partners created MilitaryFamily.jobs network of sites. MilitaryFamily.jobs allows military dependents to easily search for military installations across the nation and also browse through employment opportunities in neighboring communities.

This job search process provides our military families, who are the sacred strength our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines at home, with a tool to find valid and verified employment directly from major employers and small or medium sized businesses at no charge.

These innovative networks connect the transitioning military personnel or current dependents to the original job on the hiring employers’ career site or corresponding state job bank for application which negates third-party interaction, duplicate job content and the threat of spam jobs or identity theft.

This indeed is the biggest, most dynamic and incredibly meaningful military network ever created on the internet and DirectEmployers Association, backed by some of the biggest brands in the world, is honored to bring this revolutionary technology to bear because great talent deserves a great home.

This is merely the start .
