National Recruitment Firm Decision Toolbox Introduces "Vetted Vets" Program to Help Companies Hire Those Who Fought for Our Country and Our Freedom
Nearly One Million Vets Expected to Flood the Job Market With the Pull Back of Troops
(firmenpresse) - IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/25/12 -- , a nationwide provider of project based hiring and on-demand is launching its newest program, "Vetted Vets," to coincide with Memorial Day 2012.
Vetted Vets is a program designed to bring a pool of pre-qualified veterans and quality job opportunities together, and to give veterans a two-week head start on these opportunities.
According to Decision Toolbox, hiring veterans offers many benefits to an employer, including:
The feeling of satisfaction and positive reputation that results from doing the right thing.
Vets make highly valuable employees through their reliability, dedication, loyalty, leadership skills and team attitude.
Tax incentives are available to employers for hiring veterans. The credit ranges from $2,400 for hiring veterans who have been looking for a job for more than four weeks to $9,600 for hiring veterans with service-connected disabilities who have been looking for a job longer than six months.
"Many companies may be theoretically committed to hiring vets, but they are not sure how to find them, how their skills are transferable to available opportunities, or how to integrate and support them once hired. That is why we have developed our 'Vetted Vets' program," says Kim Shepherd, CEO of Decision Toolbox.
"The existing candidate glut, primarily created by the recession, will soon be further flooded with nearly one million vets with the pull back of troops by the U.S. military around the globe," explains Shepherd. "For younger troops, aged 18-24 years old, the unemployment rate is currently 13.1% for males and 21.6% for females -- nearly double and triple the unemployment numbers respectively for non-veterans. Adding to the list of challenges felt by young vets is their apparent lack of job experience, career direction, and low confidence in their ability to thrive in the civilian workforce."
