RecruitMilitary: New York Veteran Job Fair
RecruitMilitary is a leading full-service military–to-civilian recruiting firm in the United States. They use online and offline products to connect employers, franchisors, and educational institutions with men and women who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life, veterans who already have civilian work experience, members of the National Guard and reserve forces, and military spouses. They serve veterans of all ranks, rates, and branches of the armed forces, and their services are free to all men and women who have a military background.
RecruitMilitary is veteran-owned, veteran-operated, and veteran-advised. They have established working relationships with industry associations, non-profit organizations, and government agencies.
