Getting Military-Connected

Despite their unique experiences, skillsets, and perspectives, the military-connected community struggles to find fulfilling civilian roles with long-term success.

MilitaryConnected.org and our Military Advisory Services reform your culture to attract, support, and engage this diverse talent pool.

Today's Reality

42% of veteran talent leave their first civilian job within one year.

80% leave within two years.

Underemployment also disproportionately affects veterans:

70% of veterans take a step back in their first civilian job, compared to the role they held in the military.
They’re nearly 16 percent more likely to be underemployed than their civilian counterparts.
The cost of replacing an employee can range from one-half to two times their salary. Research also found that 70 percent of the reasons for employee turnover are preventable.

What are WOTC credits?

The Work Opportunity Tax Credit program was enacted in 1996 and is a federal tax incentive that encourages employers to hire individuals from certain targeted groups who face significant barriers to employment. One of these groups includes qualified veterans. WOTC incentivizes companies to hire veterans, helping to reduce unemployment among veterans while providing financial benefits to businesses (up to $9,600 per veteran hire).

How can I translate military experience into civilian roles?

You’re not alone. A study by CareerBuilder found that 71% of employers struggle to understand how military skills translate into job-specific requirements. MilitaryConnected’s team of military advisors can provide the human touch you need to have a more inclusive hiring process and leverage our AI-driven military occupational specialty (MOS) code translator.

Why use employee referrals to hire from the military?

Employee referrals are effective because candidates get hired 55% faster, are 4 times more likely to be hired, and stay 46% longer. By extending referrals to the military community, you tap into trusted networks of an underutilized talent pool, speeding up hiring and enhancing team diversity and expertise.
