    Free Webinar to Watch on How to Achieve Greater  

    Success in Hiring National Guard Members and Other Veterans

    Are you looking for expert tips on ways you can more successfully identify, interview and hire veterans and National Guard members?

    You can watch a high quality recording of a 50-minute webinar featuring two experts whose nonprofit organizations helped employers hire more than 3,700 veterans in 2013.  No registration is necessary.  Here is the link:  www.CenterForAmerica.org/webinar.html

    Stacy Bayton and Erin Voirol discuss ways to make job postings more precise to attract veterans and Guard members who truly meet your expectations and requirements.  They also identify mistakes made during interviews that cause recruiters to miss learning about the candidate’s skills that are relevant to the workplace.

    The webinar was developed by the nonprofit American Jobs for America’s Heroes (AJAH) campaign to help business owners and HR managers learn how to make military recruiting easier and more successful.  “Many times an employer will have the ideal candidate come for an interview but this won’t culminate in a hire,” said Steve Nowlan, campaign director.  “This can happen because the interview doesn’t bring out how the veteran’s skills and experience match to the company’s needs and culture.  Stacy and Erin describe ways to make interviews more productive for both the employer and the candidate.”

    The webinar also describes how employers benefit from having their job postings flow through the AJAH campaign at no cost directly to hundreds of military employment counselors who are working one-on-one with Guard members and other veterans to match them with jobs.

    “Employers benefit when their job postings are being actively matched by employment counselors in the Guard, the Army and other services,” said Todd Young, Center for America’s chief operating officer.  “When a counselor gets a posting, he or she actively matches this with the current candidates and then helps the qualified candidates apply for the job.  This is a more proactive and effective source of help than just posting the job on a traditional job website.”

    In the webinar, Stacy and Erin describe how employers can get the most from posting jobs in the AJAH campaign and the benefits that military employment counselors bring to facilitating matches.

    You can watch a five-minute video about the campaign – www.CenterForAmerica.org/video.html -- and then visit the website at www.CenterForAmerica.org to register online in five minutes.  A campaign counselor will contact you to set up your posting and answer questions.  All services are free.  More than 1,000 employers are already participating.  Phillips 66 is the lead national corporate sponsor of the AJAH campaign.
