SHRM Helps You Find the Right Veterans for Your Open Jobs
The HireVets tool includes a nationwide candidate database, a military skills translator and candidate-matching technology to link veterans with positions that best match their skills.
 
HR Must Better Understand Military Competencies to Advance Veteran Hiring

DOD Program Lifts Barriers to Military Spouses' Employment
