There are many resources - recruitmilitary.com; hiringourheroes.org; gijobs.com; etc. Look for career fairs in your local area.

There are fantastic ideas from those who responded before me. There are so many different ways to target veterans, but the key is going to be location. Where are you and where are you trying to fill positions. I agree that you need to review the existing hiring groups that currently exist like Hiring our Heroes, vet group sponsored job fairs, targeting transition courses at military installations, and more. Do you have a vet focused hiring site? Have you considered reaching out to a veteran recruiter from a company that isn't competition so you can learn from their best practices?

No, not as far as I know. It's an established website that veterans and their spouses can go to look for jobs.

I would put the word out at National Guard units. For instance, I had a counseling client who would have been right up your alley... (Can't say more about it, but they can certainly reach out to you if they see this...)

Whom do you call? If you're calling the front desk, you may not get any where. Talk to the G1; talk to the CSM, etc... Mail them brochures... I know that lots of Guard soldiers are looking for good jobs, and they'd love to hear from you...

You might also try a blast on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and the other Social Media with a link to your recruiting pages... You didn't even provide a link on this page, and that's how most people will connect with you...

And, re your brochures, ensure that they have QR codes with your contact info - most people live on devices, so this is the simplest way for them to connect with you...
