Veteran Hire Pursuit, an executive-level placement company exclusively serving Veteran Owned Businesses (VOB), publically launched today. The company, founded by Gary Pitchford, is a client-focused Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOB) that specializes in the executive search industry by offering primarily retained talent acquisition services for SDVOBs and VOBs.
"A lot of people think I'm in the business of helping transitioning Veterans find jobs," said Mr. Pitchford. "While that's a vital and noble service, my niche is serving my peer group of Veteran business owners -- as I did on active duty -- by filling their search needs for executive-level talent. I lead a company in pursuit of the very best hires for the Veteran business owner."
Mr. Pitchford, also the company's president, has over twenty-seven years of experience working with the senior leaders in law enforcement, human resources, and recruiting industries, both in the private and government sectors. "Serving beside Veterans with diverse backgrounds in the past inspired me to focus intensely on senior level talent acquisition for Veteran business owners today -- the same Veterans that value loyalty, honesty, and professionalism and who know the effect human capital has to their bottom line."
For completing a combined twenty-one years of Army service in the US and Europe, that included various leadership assignments with the United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC), Mr. Pitchford was honored on more than one occasion by the Chief of Staff of the Army for Recruiting and Site Leadership Excellence. Several successful forays into recruiting for the private sector ultimately led to the formation of his own company, one which would cater chiefly to Veteran business owners like himself. “The goal is to build trust while maintaining positive relationships between clients and candidates.”
