Master Class: Secrets of Recruiters

Recruiters are the missing link to your job hunt efforts. Why? Because most veterans and spouses don’t know enough about how these professionals are expected to do their jobs and how their performance is rated. Increase your probability of landing the job with our insider tips, including (but not limited to) these:

1. The biggest secret you need to know about recruiters is that the best ones are usually behind what we call a Military Door. To make it easy, I put together this list of 25 top employers for 2022. They have dedicated teams of veteran recruiters who are looking for you now.
2. Go where the recruiters are. In addition to the veteran-specific link on their company’s website, the best recruiters spend much of their time on LinkedIn. Be sure you have the keywords they are looking for included in your tagline and your About section.
3. Recruiters will reach out to you on LinkedIn if you have the job skills they are looking for. Expect them to tell you what job they are recruiting for and for what company. A trustworthy recruiter is never, never, NEVER going to ask you for money.
4. One thing that drives top veteran recruiters crazy is the “entitled” veteran. Make sure you are not accidentally giving off that vibe with our tips.
