Recruit with Military & Veteran Career Fairs, Resume Searches, & More

RecruitMilitary offers a considerable number of tools for connecting with qualified veteran, active military, and military spouse job candidates. Promote your company’s open positions to candidates looking for government or civilian jobs after the military.

Veteran Career Fairs

RecruitMilitary’s renowned veteran career fairs draw military talent from every branch of service, allowing exhibitors to efficiently source many veterans for one price under one roof.

Our recruitment events take place at unique, attractive venues: stadiums, museums, racetracks, entertainment complexes, military installations and more.

We host exclusive hiring events nationwide, including on military bases, designed to facilitate meaningful connections between employers and military job seekers. These engaging settings promote networking opportunities, foster valuable conversations, and facilitate on-the-spot interviews. Easily access job seeker profiles post-event by simply scanning their QR codes at your booth.

Many organizations go directly from meeting candidates to conducting on-site interviews, frequently making job offers on the spot. Multiple hires at a single event occur frequently, reducing a company’s overall cost-per-hire. Check out our In-Person Career Fair Insights to see why we have so many repeat exhibitors!

In-Person Insights

Veterans, through their service, have honed skills that make them invaluable assets to your organization: maturity, leadership, teamwork, and technical expertise. Partner with RecruitMilitary to tap into this exceptional talent pool. Visit our Client Success Center for strategies on optimizing our events and insights into what to anticipate.

As a sponsor of our career fair, your company’s name and brand will take center stage, becoming synonymous with veteran hiring in the local community. We offer Corporate and Pre-Event Seminar Sponsorship packages to suit your needs.

Success at RecruitMilitary veteran career fairs is straightforward: Prepare well and use effective strategies during the event to attract interested veteran candidates and achieve your hiring goals. Make sure your representatives are engaging, showcase your brand, highlight job opportunities, promote your presence, engage on social media, and stay until the end to maximize your chances of finding the right candidates.

Many of the companies that hire veterans at our job fairs come back for more, bringing those hires along to recruit others. Social media grabbed the attention of one Navy veteran and prompted him to attend a RecruitMilitary Veteran Career Fair.

“I saw a RecruitMilitary Career Fair coming to Tulsa on my Facebook feed. I signed up, sent my suit to the cleaners, tailored my resume, and looked up who would be there,” he said. “I talked to everyone at the event, came away with two interviews and two offers, and I took one of them.”

Now he works as a maintenance supervisor/facilities maintenance manager for a large equipment company. One year later, he returned to the same RecruitMilitary hiring event to assist his own recruiting team in hiring more veterans.

Virtual Job Fairs

Want to reach a large group of veteran candidates with zero travel and a quick turnaround time? Participate in a virtual career fair. These events deliver a strong level of candidate engagement and premier brand positioning. More of your staff, including subject matter experts and other decision-makers, can participate in the recruiting process.

A virtual job fair offers companies the opportunity to maintain a presence in their region between our physical career fairs, while also reaching veterans in cities our physical events may not cover. In addition to connecting with veterans during the event, organizations gain access to all registered candidates. For data-driven companies, the cost per candidate is highly attractive.

Features of our virtual job fair include:

  1. Custom-built chat rooms fostering a veteran-friendly environment.
  2. Access to essential candidate data, including security clearances, rank, experience, and education.

Let us help you reach veterans from anywhere with faster turnaround time from interview to hiring, reduced cost per recruit, and brand positioning. View our Virtual Career Fair Insights, or watch the video below for guidance.

  • Seize this exceptional branding opportunity to deliver a consistent corporate message and establish your organization as military-friendly.
  • Take advantage of our free training webinars, which guide you through maximizing all available tools during the event. Learn to effectively utilize chats, video interviewing, and presentation screen sharing.
  • Ensure your landing page is optimized with branded greetings, company logos, compelling imagery, links to career pages and social media, engaging videos, comprehensive job postings, and readily available contact information. Strategically showcasing your culture, core values, expertise, and opportunities will communicate to candidates why they should choose your organization.
  • Consider incorporating insights from a veteran employee’s perspective. Veterans value teamwork and seek organizations that reflect key military values. Highlighting this alignment can attract veteran job seekers.

For example, a national healthcare company’s success story demonstrates effective preparation. Their team of six recruiters conducted a thorough walkthrough of the event website in advance. They curated a resource package comprising downloadable resume templates and tips, a detailed explanation of the hiring process, and a spreadsheet of open roles with direct links. Additionally, they developed a slideshow offering insights into what hiring managers prioritize on resumes.

Exhibitors receive immediate access to candidates upon creating their virtual booths, so prepping your booth ahead of time lets you reach the right job seekers first. Detailed data filters allow you to search, preview, and connect with desirable veteran job candidates ahead of time through a virtual event messaging center. Organizations have unlimited access to all registered candidates’ professional profiles, including the capability to export electronic resumes to your ATS.

RecruitMilitary and Google have joined forces to improve our job board experience for both employers and veteran job seekers. Our robust job board is powered by Google Cloud Talent Solution’s job search functionality, which means there’s no need to worry if your careers website and job postings are compatible with the Google Jobs API. If you post jobs with RecruitMilitary, Google Jobs will see them, and so will thousands of veterans.

Using Google Cloud’s new remote search technology powered by AI, businesses receive more relevant resume search results to military veterans and their spouses. Google Cloud announced its work-from-home/remote search capability feature in April 2019 in a post featuring RecruitMilitary. This means that employers posting jobs on our recruitment database will see more veterans apply for them because they yield better, more relevant results.

We’ve seen a 90% increase in the number of jobs being applied to by veterans and their spouses. And by delivering a better search experience for remote work opportunities, veteran job seekers and military spouses alike can unearth more flexible jobs to suit their specific needs.

You can search our database by military occupational specialty (MOS), geography, security clearance, and more. Since your time is valuable, we offer a saved search feature that allows you to set up a candidate feed right to your email inbox.

Store relevant data for OFCCP compliance and job postings, including gender, ethnicity, disability status, and veteran/civilian differentiation. Your account can be enabled with OFCCP data collection, and an OFCCP applicant report can be generated upon request in the event of an audit.

Don’t need a nationwide search? Our local database license allows for local resume searches.

The candidate database delivers a key aggregation channel for companies committed to increasing the number of veterans in their workforces. When you partner with RecruitMilitary, you’re gaining the expertise of America’s leading military-to-civilian recruitment firm. Our database and the products associated with it will help you build, refresh, and maintain veteran candidate pipelines that satisfy long-term veteran hiring initiatives.
