A
generic Careers website doesn't speak to veterans, since many are coming
straight out of the military. In fact, veterans come from a unique situation
with a variety of skill sets and expectations. If you are actively recruiting
veterans, it is important to include the following on your careers website to
let veteran candidates know you mean business:
2. Veteran
Spotlights are a great way of illustrating the success other veterans can
expect at your company. It is a good idea to offer a variety of spotlights to
cover different branches, MOS, and ranks.
3. Clearly
state your company’s military-friendly HR policies.
4. Consider creating a career translator or having a
veteran on the team help translate some of your job openings into language that
may attract veterans.
5. Define any possible training programs, as veterans
are used to this from the military.
6. Highlight any Veteran Affinity Groups or Veteran
Mentorship Programs your company has available.
Including these six things on your Veterans Careers
website can truly make an impact on the first impression a potential veteran
employee has of your company. Not only does it tell them that you respect their
service, but it also delivers the message that you are actively recruiting them
because you understand their incredible worth in the civilian sector.
