Sunday, March 21, 2010 at 10:14PM Fortune Magazine Quotes RecruitMilitary’s Slagel
A recent article in Fortune magazine, posted at
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.
