Employers around the nation have continued to prioritize veteran hiring. Why? The answer is simple. Veterans are proven leaders with a mission-focused approach to work, adaptable to workplace needs, and most importantly, carry a strong work ethic wherever they go. With that said, it’s no wonder employers are vying to get in front of this diverse talent pool. What’s the first step? Telling candidates you’re veteran-friendly is one thing, but showing them is an entirely different action. Let’s take a peek at four employers who have gone the extra mile to showcase their support for our nation’s veterans and military spouses using Recruit Rooster’s Military Crosswalk platforms!
