Hiring conference

Hiring Conference

With military members stationed around the world, companies find it difficult to interview transitioning military members. Transitioning military members represent the largest available pool of skilled talent in the nation and are highly sought after by companies. A “Hiring Conference” is an event organized to give those companies an opportunity to interview military trained candidates that have distinguished themselves in performance, potential, and experience. Candidates who exemplify the best the Military has to offer - the Junior Military Officers (JMO), electronics, electrical, mechanical, and nuclear power candidates; distinguished veterans with unmatched experience and technical schooling.

* Candidates with strong leadership, communication skills & troubleshooting ability
* Candidates that have ranked above their peers in their evaluations
* Candidates that are regionally open on location

With the military skill set is being so broad - the hiring conference provides the opportunity for the selected candidates to interview with companies from a variety of different industries including medical, semiconductor, telecommunications, automation/robotics, and manufacturing.

A Hiring Conference is not a Job Fair! With a Hiring Conference, resumes are submitted to the hiring authorities prior to the event and interviews are pre-coordinated, where as a job fair requires the candidate to stand in line to engage the company - with no guarantee of an actual interview. The companies and candidates selected to attend are by invitation only. On average, selected candidates will interview with 3-5 different companies. Hiring Conferences are held every 4-6 weeks in cities where there is a large population of military members and held at a hotel that can support over 50 different companies interviewing in individual suites. Candidates selected to attend must be available to start their new career within 60-90 days of interviewing at the conference.

Hiring Conferences are two day events to ensure the selected candidates are successful in the interview process. The first day encompasses interview preparation courses, one-on-one mock interviews, detailed company briefings, and presentations conducted by the interviewing managers and formal job interviews on the second. Because job hunting in general is one of the most arduous, discouraging and stressful activities one can go through, a recruiter will work with you in advance to best determine the right companies/positions that match your skills and career goals. In many cases, the recruiter has spent years getting to know the client companies and their representatives, and can share key information and tips to the candidate to ensure success. Typically there is no cost associated to attend except for personal travel expenses.
