The company I work for in Metro Detroit is having trouble finding and keeping quality people. I want to suggest they hire veterans( of course). Are there any organazations that help employers and veterans find each other?

SGT Steve Oakes If you'd like to use RallyPoint as a hiring tool check on the Business Services page (found in the top right toolbar on desktop) or get in touch with Elizabeth Malkin. She can walk you through all the options!

Look for a LVER (Local Veterans Employment Representative) at your state's department of labor. The service should be free and they should already have a good network of veterans looking for work.

If you hire through a staffing agency, let them know that you have a Veteran's preference. I've had some decent response with that.

To add to what CPT Wagoner said, also reach out to the different VSOs, i.e. DAV, VFW, and American Legion... they usually have the most direct contact with vets.
