5 Star Recruitment Launches Website To Help America’s Finest Find Jobs

PR Log (Press Release) – Feb 23, 2009 – Veteran advertising executives Kim Kroll and Tristan Thomas have joined forces to launch a new website to connect Military Veterans and transitioning Military personnel with civilian careers.  With over 20 years’ combined experience in recruitment advertising, the pair felt there was a definite need for a more personalized service for both employers and job seekers.

5 Star Recruitment – “The Veteran’s Job Link”, is a free-to-use website that was designed to generate greater visibility for companies looking to fill open positions with highly qualified Military candidates from the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard.  “It’s well known that the Military has excellent candidates transitioning from military to civilian life, and 5 Star’s main goal is connecting the two,” says Thomas, a veteran himself.  “The government pays interview and relocation costs for those who qualify, and has numerous organizations and programs to assist our servicemen and women, such as TAP, ACAP, VETS, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.”  According to Kroll and Thomas, 5 Star Recruitment picks up where the Military leaves off and serves as the link between the veteran and the perfect career. “We help facilitate the transition so that both the candidate and employer benefit.”

Located in Encino, California, the outreach of 5 Star Recruitment is global based upon the unique nature of its military ties.  When asked what makes them different from other recruitment advertising services, Thomas says it’s the great lengths they will go to make a connection.  “The number one thing that sets us apart from everyone else is that we personalize the service to fit our client’s needs.  That means we are on the phones making calls on the client’s behalf, not just leaving them waiting and hoping that someone will answer their ads.  We realize that to get the best response we have to be very proactive and tailor the program to the specific needs of each individual.  On the flip side, unemployment rates are at very high levels. We have to do everything we can to help people find jobs - especially our Veterans; and that is where our innovative website comes into play.”  

Kroll adds, “We have the ability to build great ads, which is half of the equation.  The other half is creating visibility.  There are a lot of companies in this industry that build attractive ads on their websites, but if they don’t market their ads or websites, then no one views them, and that’s not the kind of service or results that customers want.  They want the perfect union of the two, and that’s what we strive for.”  Both agree that their main goal is to help connect valuable candidates with viable employers.
