VETS FOR HIRE
ABOUT
Vets for Hire is a social impact hiring initiative aimed at supporting and advocating for Veterans. We partner with businesses in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to bring opportunities to Veterans in a state of career transition.
As a Veteran, female, and minority-owned business, we believe it is our responsibility to ensure that our Veteran community has access to career opportunities at every stage of their civilian life. It is for this reason that the Vets for Hire program is provided completely free to both our Veteran candidates and Employers who participate.
