RecruitMilitary and DAV Join Forces to Promote Jobs for Veterans

LOVELAND, Ohio - April 22, 2014 - PRLog -- RecruitMilitary, the nation’s leading full-service veteran recruitment company, and DAV, Disabled American Veterans, the country’s longest-established veterans advocacy group, have formed a partnership to promote the hiring of veterans.

“All of us at RecruitMilitary are delighted to have the opportunity to work with the fine organization that is DAV,” said Peter A. Gudmundsson, president and CEO of RecruitMilitary and a former officer in the United States Marine Corps. “This partnership brings together two organizations that are leading the way in veteran services. DAV is well known for its strong advocacy of veterans’ causes. RecruitMilitary helps employers excel by attracting, hiring, appreciating, and retaining America’s best talent – its veterans.”

“As our nation winds down from more than 12 years of war, more veterans will be looking for employment as they make the all-important transition out of uniform,” said Barry Jesinoski, executive director of DAV National Headquarters. “These highly and technically trained men and women come to the table with a huge range of qualifications and a rock-solid work ethic, and we’re excited to join forces with RecruitMilitary to empower our nation’s veterans to find jobs. Hiring veterans is the right thing to do for businesses and America’s heroes. This partnership will provide hiring opportunities for thousands of veterans, in addition to making them aware of other benefits and free services we offer.”

RecruitMilitary and DAV are joining forces to make a positive impact on veteran hiring:

*  More than 65 DAV RecruitMilitary All Veteran Career Fairs will take place in over 35 cities annually to help all those who have served and their spouses. RecruitMilitary has been producing military-to-civilian career fairs since 2006. By the end of 2015, it will have produced about 650 events in over 50 cities.

*  RecruitMilitary will make its job board at www.recruitmilitary.com available on DAV’s website. More than 750,000 jobs are posted on the board; over 680,000 veterans are registered as job seekers in its database.

*  The two organizations will share information to help men and women who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life find employment in Corporate America.

*  The partners will have a presence in each other’s bimonthly print publications. DAV Magazine is sent to member-subscribers. RecruitMilitary circulates more than 65,000 copies of Search & Employ^® to military installations throughout the world, National Guard and reserve units, men and women who attend its job fairs, and military-to-civilian recruiters nationwide.

Both RecruitMilitary and DAV are headquartered in the Cincinnati tri-state region. So the partnership will further the region’s leadership in support of our nation’s heroes – in addition to the efforts of major local corporations that support veteran employment.
