Deliver a consistent corporate message in custom-build chat rooms. Access critical candidate data such as security clearances, rank, experience, and education. View resumes and reach out to desirable candidates ahead of time with the Virtual Event Messaging Center. Make chat room updates instantaneously without the expense of reprinting materials.

Customized greetings, company logos, images, links to career pages and social media, videos, job listings, and contact information can be placed strategically on the landing page. Private chat options are available, while group chats let companies share general information that can still be viewed by candidates who enter the room later. Frequently asked questions can be stored for reference.

Since an unlimited number of recruiters may attend chat sessions, it’s possible to bring in stakeholders who may not be able to attend a physical event, such as subject matter experts, recent hires, or fellow veterans.

Multimedia tools allow video broadcasts to answer candidate questions. Multiple screens let colleagues create a panel discussion from entirely different locations using Google Chrome or Firefox.

One-on-one video chat capability presents an easy way to interview or take a candidate to another level of screening. Create Power Points and highlight compelling points that will get candidates excited about your organization at large.

Tremendous Reach

Exhibitors can access candidates both before and after the event and can narrow the types of candidates that interest them using likes and by noting candidates as favorites.

Data Collection

A wide variety of data can be captured, sorted, and exported by multiple recruiters for post-event reference, including candidate sorting; exportable candidate spreadsheets; chat transcripts; resume books; and chat session attendee reports for applicant tracking and follow up.

Unrestricted time frame to filter and export candidates’ profile details and contact information.

Unlimited job postings within the event platform and after-event activity reporting

Branding Options

Enhance your participation through co-branding, logo placement, and priority email listing with Title Sponsorships or as a Premier Exhibitor. Early bird discounts are also available.

Help Veterans

The veteran talent pool is very eager to communicate with you. Virtual events are easy for them to participate in, cutting out the logistics and costs associated with travel, and it’s free for them to attend.

Just because you won’t be leaving your office doesn’t mean you can wing it. Preparation is vital at a virtual job fair. Employ these tips for best results:

Get Ready

Seize this great branding opportunity to deliver a consistent corporate message and establish your organization as military friendly. Strategically positioning your culture, core values, expertise, and opportunities will tell candidates why they should come to work for you.

Free training offered in webinar format illustrates how to use all the tools available to you during the event. Learn to successfully leverage chats, video interviewing, and presentation screen sharing.

Load your landing page with branded greetings, company logos, imagery, links to career pages and social media, videos, job postings, and contact information.

Consider including a veteran employee’s perspective. Remember, veterans served in tight-knit groups where teamwork prevailed. Finding an organization that replicates key military values is a priority for many veteran job seekers.

One national healthcare company had their team of six recruiters meet ahead of time to walk through the website hosting the fair. They organized a resource package made up of downloadable resume templates and tips, an explanation of the hiring process, and a spreadsheet of open roles connected to hot links. They also created a slide show about what hiring managers really want to see on a resume.

The Early Bird Gets the Candidates

Participants receive immediate access to candidates upon creating their virtual booths, so prepping your booth ahead of time lets you reach the right job seekers first. Detailed data filters allow you to search, preview, and connect with desirable veteran job candidates ahead of time through a virtual event messaging center. Organizations have unlimited access to all registered candidates’ information, including exporting electronic resumes to your ATS.

Talent shortages make an impact beyond the bottom line, and a drawn-out recruiting process can cause ripple effects that cut across every level of an organization:

• Lost productivity, experience, skills, and leadership
• Employee frustration, increased workloads, and low morale
  
• Lower customer satisfaction
• Higher turnover

The good news? Recruiting and Placement costs are much lower than enduring a prolonged vacancy.

Read our Placement Services Whitepaper.

You pay only after the job is successfully filled with a suitable veteran candidate. You’re still in charge of the whole process – you hire only the candidates who meet your needs.

You’ll partner with a single recruiter who analyzes your specific hiring needs. That analysis becomes a customized order that’s filled with matches using a combination of technology and subject matter expertise to identify the right candidates. We handle all logistical concerns, from candidate negotiations, location and salary to interview scheduling. The final candidates are then referred to you to interview.

Our recruiters are subject matter experts, because most of them are veterans, too. They speak the language of the military and understand both the hard and soft skills that former servicemembers possess, along with deep knowledge of military occupational specialties (MOS) and which military careers best align with civilian roles, removing the guesswork and resume interpretation.

“I was extremely impressed with the professionalism, people skills and qualifications of every single candidate that I had the opportunity to interview.” - Technical Manager, Oil and Gas Industry

“Working with RecruitMilitary was a top-notch experience. They provided me with a dream job opportunity that is allowing me to expand my career.

RecruitMilitary and Google have joined forces to improve our job board experience for both employers and veteran job seekers. Our robust job board is by Google Cloud Talent Solution’s job search functionality, which means there’s no need to worry if your careers web site and job postings are compatible with the Google Jobs API. If you post jobs with RecruitMilitary, Google Jobs will see them, and so will thousands of veterans.

Using Google Cloud’s new remote search technology powered by AI, businesses can now drive more relevant resume search results to military veterans and their spouses. In addition, Google Cloud announced its work from home/remote search capability feature in April 2019 in a post featuring RecruitMilitary. This means that employers posting jobs on our recruitment database will see more veterans apply for them because they yield better, more relevant results.

We’ve seen a 90% increase in the number of jobs being applied to by veterans and their spouses. And by delivering a better search experience for remote work opportunities, veteran job seekers and military spouses alike can unearth more flexible jobs to suit their specific needs.

You can look for talent by military occupational specialty (MOS), geography, security clearance, and more. Since your time is valuable, we offer a saved search feature that allows you to set up a candidate feed right to your email inbox.

Store relevant data for OFCCP compliance and job postings, including gender, ethnicity, disability status, and veteran/civilian differentiation. Your account can be enabled with OFCCP data collection, and an OFCCP applicant report can be generated upon request in the event of an audit.

Don’t need a nationwide search? Our geographic subscriptions searches allow for local resume searches.

The candidate database delivers a key aggregation channel for companies committed to increasing the number of servicemen and -women in their work forces. When you partner with RecruitMilitary, you’re gaining the expertise of America’s leading military-to-civilian recruitment firm. Our database and the products associated with it will help you build, refresh, and maintain veteran candidate pipelines that satisfy long-term veteran hiring initiatives.

How accurately you define the job can make a big difference in the number and types of candidates who will apply for it. Make sure your title reflects the job description. If you’re looking to fill a spot in a certain location, include it to avoid confusion. Example: “Logistics Coordinator in Pittsburgh, PA.”

Provide a clear, concise description of job duties (bullet points work best). Distinguish between “must haves” and “would like to haves.”

Get Specific

• Does your position require working outdoors in all kinds of weather? Let applicants know this.
• Use one city/state or zip code for each job posting so candidates searching for jobs in a specific location will find you.
  
• Include a salary range. You do not have to include a specific salary, but keep in mind that positions in the military are based on pay grades.
• Make the most of keywords and tag relevant work categories to boost matches.
  
• Include your organization’s name on the job posting. After all, would you consider hiring a candidate without a name?

Proofread

Once your job is posted, make sure to read through the listing. Are there any spelling or grammatical errors? Ask yourself, “If I were a candidate, would I clearly understand the job requirements and next steps to apply?”

Tell Your Story

A job posting is a unique employee advertisement that provides an opportunity to sell candidates on why your position and company are awesome. Do you offer unique perks? Do you have a veterans’ group? Communicate why your organization is a great place to work!

We are fully optimized to connect with veterans searching for jobs on mobile devices. Your job postings will be seen by both registered veteran candidates and unregistered users since our job search does not require registration, meaning more job views for your opportunities.

There are several options for getting your jobs posted:

• Manual Job Posting: This is the standard methodology for job posting credit options using our web user interface. Clicking on all relevant “categories” relating to the job posting will increase candidate views and applications.
• Standard XML API: Implement programming to post jobs via our API.
• Custom XML Feed: Choose this option if you need us to support a feed format other than our standard XML, such as JSON or RSS. You provide web endpoint and we crawl nightly or you can push to us via FTP.

*Though the above are the primary ways we receive job feeds from clients, if you have alternative methods you use with another outlet, please provide us with as much detail as possible. We will evaluate whether we can make that work in our environment.

You can track job posting and database activity daily, weekly, monthly, etc. Our setup allows us to provide reports to you, or you may pull them directly.

Studies have shown that the origination point for more than 70% of job seekers begins with a Google search. Our site map is compatible with both Google and Bing, and we’ve implemented Google’s Cloud Jobs API. The result? All the jobs on our site follow Google’s API data structure and are listed in Google’s index. By being an early adopter of the Google Jobs API, RecruitMilitary has seen an increase in organic military job seeker registration.

Added Aggregation + Added Exposure = Added Value

RecruitMilitary also utilizes enhancements to extend your reach to the veteran community across multiple veteran platforms, which means that our clients don’t have to concern themselves with candidate aggregation. We’ve researched and tested who the best partners are, and that’s included in your product purchase.

Once you’ve posted a job, how do you know if anyone will see it? When you post jobs with RecruitMilitary, you’ll get more bang for your buck, and greater exposure to the veteran community. We distribute our manually posted jobs on Jobs2Careers and Startwire. Other job posting sites charge separately for this additional exposure, but this benefit is free with RecruitMilitary. These jobs include “military veteran” language in the job title to target veterans searching these sites.

RecruitMilitary can also collect and report OFCCP data related to your job postings. Your account can be enabled with OFCCP data collection, and an OFCCP Applicants report can be generated by RecruitMilitary upon request. The reports we generate include all relevant OFFCCP compliance and job posting data in the event of an audit:

• Link to vacancy announcement/posting
  
• Date posted
  
• Date expired
  
• Log of all user actions, views/opened/applied/clicks
