Veteran recruitment is a high priority for many of our institutions. However, the successful recruitment of military talent requires a nuanced understating of how to evaluate a successful military career, identify transferable skillsets, and how the recruitment process impacts the veteran candidate. Matthew Brogdon, veteran and founder of Pathfinder Consulting, will present an overview on how to build a great veteran pipeline for your organization, including your strategic plan, recruiting, and retaining your veterans. This session will benefit recruiters and anyone interested in learning more about how this rich talent pool can benefit their institution.
