Hiring Conference Process (Employers)
The Bradley-Morris Hiring Conference Process is the most efficient and effective in the industry. Our Hiring Conferences (which are much different than a military job fair or other open-admission military job fairs) are typically held on a Monday. This enables clients and candidates to meet in the relaxed environment of a first class hotel and interview for great job opportunities with minimal impact to client company schedules.
At a BMI Hiring Conference, employers will interview former military personnel for leadership / management, supervisory / technical, or sales / sales management positions.

Sunday is preparation day for candidates.
- All of the candidates participate in BMI's interview preparation program which includes an interviewing seminar (unlike military job fairs which generally don't assist with interviews).
- The remainder of Sunday is used to brief the candidates on the companies and positions they are scheduled to interview with on Monday. In the briefings, the candidates are given an overview of the prospective company along with the job description, salary and benefits information, and an interviewer profile. This will ensure that candidates will be fully prepared for Monday interviews.
Monday is interview day. Employers arrive on Sunday night or Monday morning to interview on Monday.
- Client companies will interview with pre-screened candidates that are qualified for their open positions. Most often, interviews will take place in the privacy of a hotel suite.
After the Hiring Conference, Bradley-Morris coordinates the post-conference actions.
- Candidates will call their assigned BMI representative after the Hiring Conference is completed. The BMI representative will brief the candidate regarding which companies wish to pursue them as a potential employee. Based on mutual interest level, a BMI Account Representative who works with that client company will recommend follow-up steps.
- In most cases, client companies will bring the candidate on-site for a second interview and to tour the location / facilities (known as a "site visit").
Following the site visit, Bradley-Morris will oversee the offer stage of the hiring process. This helps produce the optimal result for candidate and employer alike.
In addition to participating in the Bradley-Morris Hiring Conference process, employer job openings will also receive exposure as part of BMI's "Off-Conference" / direct hire system.
- "Off-Conference" refers to open positions that are filled outside of the standard BMI process due to a company being unavailable to attend a BMI Hiring Conference date. Job seekers' backgrounds and skills will be continually evaluated against the several hundred job openings per week in this system.
