The very first step in recruiting Veterans to fill jobs in your organization is to be sure that you’re military friendly. There’s nothing worse than inviting Veteran candidates for jobs and have them feel misunderstood or unwelcome.
Hilton Worldwide has an excellent reputation as an organization that knows Veterans. Hilton has hired nearly 10,000 Veterans and military spouses since 2013, and it boasts of a program that has a military road-show theme for its HR and hiring folks.
Here are three tips for making sure that you also do a good job of making Veterans feel like your organization is a place where they might want to work:
Understand military culture. Understand that no two Veterans are the same and that the experiences of military personnel are diverse. Use online resources to familiarize yourself with the various military branches and the roles within to help you develop a sense of the military workforce, who is in it and how it works. We have a broad range of knowledge about the military. Ask us to guide you.
Create a Veteran-friendly job application process. For starters, mention on your website and recruiting materials that your business values Veterans and has committed to hiring military personnel. Be sure to include on your application a clear place for Veterans to list military service as part of their work history.
