What our customers are saying
"Walgreens believes in recruiting military veterans. We have attended RecruitMilitary's Veteran Opportunity Expos for the past three years and have found these events to be outstanding for recruiting seasoned leaders into our management team and technical positions. I would highly recommend military recruiting for any company looking to build a competitive edge."
"This year, we have spent well over $100k on recruiting fees. Typically the time period to get positions filled has been several weeks due to the fact that most requirements needed TS/SCI billets and the skill sets were very specific. We opened our RecruitMilitary account last week and I have filled two requirements already and have a lead on a third. Keep up the good work!"

Regional Manager
Dataline, Inc.
"We are new to RecruitMilitary and have been pleased with the site and the results. DefensePlacements works only in the defense/federal sector, and we work this sector vertically. RecruitMilitary has been a real asset to search by career specialty and by a particular service branch. After just 6 weeks we placed our first candiate that resulted in a $16,500 fee..."

"We have been hiring experienced sales professionals through RecruitMilitary for more than
two years and could not be more pleased. The folks at RM present us with well-qualified
applicants that fit our unique hiring profile. As a result, we spend less time hunting
for and interviewing candidates, and more time devoted to managing our business.
RM enables us to fill our vacancies quicker with less effort."
Jeff Weaver
Regional Sales Manager
"I would like to take this opportunity to let you know how much I admire your website. I work in an employment lab geared toward transitioning military service members, and I have an icon that leads to your website on the desktop of all eight of the computers. I also print and post your monthly VetTen job announcements from your newsletters. This is a great resource for service members seeking civilian employment."

"We came to RecruitMilitary to fill a sales account manager position dedicated to
servicing US military customers. We had very specific needs and exacting requirements.
The position had not been filled despite extensive general and military-specific recruiting
efforts. RecruitMilitary did a fabulous job guiding us to select services that
would most effectively and efficiently find the right candidate."
Edward Hamell
Director of Human Resources
WOW! What a successful event. We are still on a high over it. The event itself was successful for us in many ways. First we met so many great candidates that we will be contacting next week for interviews.
We will be looking to attend another one of your events.

Benefits
At a RecruitMilitary Veteran Opportunity Expo, you can begin the selection process with what is normally one of the final stages of a face-to-face meeting with the candidate. RecruitMilitary presents these events in cooperation with leading corporations, news media, industry associations, veterans organizations, and government agencies. All Veteran Opportunity Expos take place in major military markets. To attract job candidates to the fairs, we promote the events intensively to our huge database of registered candidates, and we run display ads in major newspapers in the areas where they will take place.
- Face-to-face meeting with the candidate
- Exposure to a large number of candidates in one afternoon
- Extensive promotion via direct online and print marketing
- We can help you look great in the eyes of our veterans

Why Hire Veterans?
If you are not familiar with hiring veterans, we would like to share three reasons why military personnel will make great employees for your organization:
- Well-trained. Veterans possess skills that are critical for an organization to succeed. They are trained to be mission-oriented and to work as a team. They possess critical skills for organizational success including discipline, responsibility, respect, and unparalleled work ethic.
- Skills that overlap. Veterans have been trained in specific skills that greatly overlap civilian work. Whether driving an 18-wheel tractor-trailer or leading an organization in an executive position, the military provides people with the training to be successful in trades, as well as the experience and conditioning required for management positions.
- Diverse backgrounds. The military employs a highly diverse workforce. Approximately 45% of RecruitMilitary candidates have a diverse background, enabling you to connect with skilled and diverse candidates through our events.
At the Venue
- Your representatives should arrive at the venue at about 9:00 a.m.
- The Opportunity Expo will take place on the Third Floor Concourse
- Coffee and other refreshments will be available at 09:00 a.m.
- The Exhibitors lunch will be served in the Phoenix Room on the third floor.

Veteran Opportunity Expo Cancellation Policy
RecruitMilitary does not offer refunds. If an exhibitor is unable to attend a Veteran Opportunity Expo for which it has already registered, RecruitMilitary will make every effort to allow the exhibitor to attend a future event, provided the exhibitor attends the event during the same calendar year. However, RecruitMilitary must receive the cancellation request with at least ten business days' notice prior to the date of the Veteran Opportunity Expo. Unpaid invoices must be paid whether or not the exhibitor attends the event for which it originally registered. Cancellation requests must be sent via e-mail to expos@recruitmilitary.com, and must be received by the stated cancellation deadline. If a cancellation request is received fewer than ten business days before the event, or if the exhibitor does not show up at the event at all, then that exhibitor will not be entitled to transfer its registration to a new event.
