Employers Plan to Hire Veterans

Posted at 06:08 AM on Thursday, October 29, 2009 by Wisconsin VFW News in Veterans Job Opportunities

  A new survey from CareerBuilder.com is offering some encouraging news with 41 percent of employers reporting they have hired U.S. veterans or members of the National Guard in the last six months. One-in-five (21 percent) are actively recruiting veterans and members of the National Guard for open positions today.

The top positions employers say they are targeting U.S. service men and women for include information technology, engineering, management and sales. According to the survey, employers recommend that candidates clearly spell out their military responsibilities and how they are applicable to the position at hand in their resume, cover letter and interview.

And surprisingly, some veterans aren't even identifying themselves as such. Employers said veteran applicants don't always identify themselves as veterans on their resumes. In fact, 11 percent of veterans said they don’t include their military experience when applying for positions, while 12 percent said they do so selectively. This can ultimately work to a candidate’s disadvantage as 43 percent of employers stated that if they had two equally-qualified candidates, they are more likely to hire the person with military experience. Others did not have a preference either way.

Hiring managers recommend that veterans and National Guard members put a greater emphasis on marketing their military skills and accomplishments. They identified the following attributes associated with military personnel as critical to emphasize in the job search process:

- Disciplined approach to work (68 percent)

- Ability to work as part of a team (63 percent)

- Respect and integrity (57 percent)

- Leadership (50 percent)

- Problem-solving skills (46 percent)

- Ability to perform under pressure (44 percent)

- Communication skills (37 percent)

Reminder About Tax Credit for Hiring Veterans - Don't neglect to let employers know about the tax credit for hiring veterans. For a limited time (January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010) companies can take a maximum tax credit of $2,400 per veteran (not only service-connected disabled) who meet certain criteria. The following link provides specific instructions for employers when completing the IRS form: http://www.irs.gov/instructions/i8850/ch02.html.

Get the word out! If you've placed veterans who were:

- Discharged or released from active duty in the Armed Forces at any time during the 5-year period ending on the hiring date, AND

- Received unemployment compensation under State or Federal law for not less than 4 weeks during the 1-year period ending on the hiring date

Their employers may be eligible for this tax credit. Additionally, this new veteran category of Work Opportunities Tax Credit (WOTC) is retroactive to apply to individuals who began work for employers after December 31, 2008.
