Fortune Magazine looks to RecruitMilitary this week

Fortune Magazine Quotes RecruitMilitary’s Slagel

A recent article in Fortune magazine, posted at

http://money.cnn.com/2010/03/04/news/companies/military_business_leaders.fortune/?postversion=2010030504

explains many of the benefits of hiring veterans—leading off with a discussion of Wal-Mart’s program for hiring junior military officers (JMO’s).  Fortune quotes RecruitMilitary’s Senior Vice President Larry Slagel, himself a former JMO (Marine Captain), saying that the competition for the best veterans is getting increasingly fierce: “It’s sort of blood in the water. Companies really want those folks.”

Also in the Fortune article: “RecruitMilitary reports that it has worked with more than half the companies in the Fortune 100 in the past three years.”  Going back further, we have 69 present and past clients in the Fortune 100 listing, 122 in the top 200 of the Fortune 500 listing, 163 in the top 300 of the listing, 191 in the top 400 of the listing, and 218 in the Fortune 500. Of the 218 clients, we have done business with about 200 since January 2007.

A day in the life of RecruitMilitary

DateWednesday, March 10, 2010 at 09:02AM

One of our Senior Vice Presidents just sent me a synopsis of what happened on a very recent Thursday - here is the synopsis in its entirety:

A Day in the Life of RecruitMilitary

Today, we served an estimated 3,300+ transitioning and veteran military. Let’s count ‘em up:

Today, we produced three Opportunity Expos: at the American Legion’s summit meeting in Washington, D.C.; at LP Field, home of the Tennessee Titans, in Nashville; and at MinuteMaid Park, home of the Houston Astros. We hosted a total of 1,000+ veterans at the three events.  A total of 134 veteran-friendly organizations exhibited, including 10 federal agencies that are required to comply with President Obama’s Executive Order on veteran hiring initiatives within the Executive Branch.
 
Incidentally, our Expos always get great media coverage. Here is a sample of just our TV coverage in Nashville: WTVF-TV CBS 5 Morning Show Pre-Event Coverage: http://www.newschannel5.com/Global/story.asp?S=12042052. WSMV-TV NBC 4: http://www.wsmv.com/news/22670631/detail.html
http://www.wsmv.com/video/22664049/index.html


Today, 341 veterans registered as job seekers at our database at www.recruimilitary.com, joining 400,000+ who had already done so.  
 
Today, hundreds of transitioning military picked up copies of our print magazine, Search & Employ at military bases throughout the world. It is hard to pin down exactly how many veterans read the magazine on any given day; but, based on our circulation, roughly 500 may well have picked it up today.

Today, hundreds of veterans visited our website. We had about 60,000 unique visitors this month —an average of 2,100+ per day. We can’t be sure how many of today's visitors were veterans who did not attend attend any of the three Expos and who did not register today. But, based on our experience, we would estimate the number at 1,500.

Today was a great day.

We just completed importing 90,000 job postings from the Direct Employer’s Exchange (aka Job Central.)  These jobs are from about 400 different companies that are members of Job Central.  We are excited because it means more and better career choices for our military veterans and military spouses.

Job Central is going to help us promote our career fairs - 68 nationally this year - to their member companies.  We are also collaborating on other ways to match deserving veterans with employment opportunities.
