Why Hiring Veterans Can Be a Game Changer for Your Organization 

Unlocking a Wealth of Experience and Discipline

At Hays, we do more than fill positions; we bridge the gap between military service and civilian careers. Hiring veterans is not only a good deed but a strategic advantage. They bring a wealth of experience, discipline, and unique skills that solve problems and benefit any organization.
Every year, approximately 200,000 military personnel transition from service to civilian life. This significant influx of veterans into the workforce presents an opportunity to address skill shortages in various industries.

Veterans bring a diverse set of skills and valuable experience in the civilian job market, such as leadership skills, problem-solving, and the ability to work under pressure. By recognizing and leveraging these skill sets, employers and human resources can help bridge the talent gap, particularly in fields that require discipline, technical expertise, project management, and leadership roles. Currently, there are more than 18 million veterans in the United States, as reported by the Pew Research Center.

This large community of veterans represents a reservoir of potential that, if tapped effectively, can contribute to the nation’s economic growth and innovation.

Solving Organizational Challenges

• Problem-solving skills: Veterans train to handle complex situations and think on their feet, making them excellent problem solvers in high-pressure environments.
• Leadership and teamwork: With a background in leading teams and working collaboratively, veterans can enhance the leadership dynamics within your organization.
• Adaptability: Military training ingrains the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, equipping veterans to handle organizational changes smoothly.
• Leveraging Security Clearances: Veterans often retain security clearances from their military service. Employing a veteran with such credentials can be beneficial for organizations handling confidential data, streamlining the hiring process by eliminating the need for new security vetting.

Realizing Tangible Benefits

• Strong work ethic: Veterans are known for their dedication and commitment, ensuring tasks are completed efficiently and effectively.
• Diverse perspectives: The diverse experiences of veterans can bring new insights and innovation to your team.
• Reliability and loyalty: Veterans demonstrate loyalty to their missions, which can translate into a strong commitment to your company’s goals and success.
