In the past 30 years, amidst all the technological advances to come our way, including iterations of the Internet and incredible software advances making our lives easier and society more accessible, very little has changed when it comes to getting a job.
Corporations understand hiring Veterans and transitioning Service Members is even more challenging.
Job seekers all use a resume and scroll down endless pages of open jobs in order to apply, whether they’re Vets or not.
Vouch4Vets began building software for Veterans and their Spouses in 2017 to address these challenges and more. Never before has an organization delivered enterprise-level software to the job seeker, moreover Veterans or transitioning Service Members and their Spouses. Vouch4Vets is made up of HR industry experts, Veterans and technologists who understand how companies, large and small, hire talent and navigate staffing challenges. They recognize references typically are asked at the end of a very long hiring, just before sending an offer letter. If references are so important, why don’t they come first – and as Referrals? Vouch4Vets creates software platforms for Veterans and Spouses, seeking employment, to collect and store Video Referrals from their Advocates. These job seekers then share the Referrals with recruiters, hiring managers and other important influencers along their journey to get that next great job.
Benefits to Job Seekers
Veteran job seekers and their Spouses control distribution of the Video Referrals, these referrals are created by Advocates who understand that, via their recording, they are speaking directly to the audience who will be assessing their fitment inside the organization and this short video will influence them whether or not they’ve started interviewing.
The alternative is the status-quo: Complicated-looking resumes which often don’t get the consideration they should.
Benefits to Companies
The current Head of Military Hiring for a Fortune 100 company recently commented to Vouch4Vets, that his own team are the advocates for all of these transitioning Service Members and Veterans. If they had Video Referrals to show hiring managers, sent in by these Veteran job seekers, it could scale their efforts and free up all the time they spend trying to convince hiring managers to hire more/specific Veterans applying for jobs.
Our Mission
Vouch4Vets has only one focus: to introduce great jobs to Vets and their Spouses. We do this on the same platform by driving real jobs to Vets and Spouses who are viewing their Advocates talk about how valuable they are at what they do.
Pure Positivity
Social Media has degraded into a pool of negativity. Vouch4Vets recognizes no one sits down to record themselves giving a negative review of a job seeker who’s asked them for help. Advocates frequently mention things which job seekers realize they should be mentioning during phone interviews or their “Onsite” interviews. Vouch4Vets is the first and only software platform that delivers a reference-check straight to the Job Seeker, as a referral.
The Future of Veteran Hiring
Vouch4Vets is partnering with huge, publicly traded corporations and small business alike. Our goal is to build a better bridge, a digital one, between Vets, Spouses and hiring managers.
We’ll continue to utilize Advocates’ positive messages about these job seekers’ skills to get them interviews and great jobs!
