It’s one thing to look at resumes from behind a desk all day – it’s another matter entirely to have the opportunity to meet a variety of veteran candidates face-to-face, assess their skills, and even interview them on the spot for available positions. That’s what RecruitMilitary veteran job fairs offer, and the numbers only prove their success.

Exhibitors at our events include corporate employers, law-enforcement agencies and other government employers, franchisors, and educational institutions. Candidates include men and women who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life, veterans who already have civilian work experience, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and military spouses and other family members.

Based on our post-event surveys, here’s what the numbers say for 2015:
