LOVELAND, Ohio - Nov. 1, 2013 - PRLog -- RecruitMilitary, the nation’s leading full-service veteran recruitment company, has engaged Marine Corps veteran Jeff Weaver as a national account executive in charge of the Mid-Atlantic region. Weaver will lead RecruitMilitary’s efforts to connect area companies that are serious about the benefits of veteran hiring with qualified, career-ready veteran candidates.

Weaver hails from Ludington, Michigan, and currently resides in Columbia, Maryland. He is a 2002 graduate of Michigan State University, where he obtained a degree in telecommunications management with a minor in business management and marketing. He served in the Marine Corps from 1994 until 1998 as a Signals Intelligence Communications Operator. After receiving his degree, Weaver embarked on a successful sales career. He served as a senior account executive at the HR consulting firm Berkshire Associates, and as a strategic account manager at the B2B integration company GXS, handling accounts that included Target, Ford, Chrysler, Best Buy, Office Max, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and JC Penney.

“I'm very excited to be joining the RecruitMilitary team,” said Weaver. “I am most eager to begin helping organizations maximize their potential by administering and refining a successful veteran-recruiting program. Of equal and more personal importance to me is that this will in turn help the 600,000+ veterans who have posted profiles to RecruitMilitary's job board,” Weaver said.

Peter Gudmundsson, president and CEO of RecruitMilitary and a former officer in the United States Marine Corps, said that “Jeff is an expert at human capital issues and compliance with federal hiring guidelines.
