THE VBH EMPLOYMENT PROCESS


Many of you understand this, some of you are new, but many of you have asked the question; "How does the process work to get me an interview with an employer I'm pursuing"?

So, what VBH does is leverage our reputation, relationships and endorse you directly to Talent Acquisition (TA) and HR.   If you filled out a profile (which everyone should do); then we send your profile along with your resume and endorse for company and a position.

This isn't a "see what happens"; that's what it sounds like when you don't have a relationship!!   We have developed strong, Veteran-Friendly organizations AND contacts that work for YOU on getting you in front of hiring managers. See those companies HERE.

What we don't always get routinely is feedback, BUT if you ask VBH, they will almost always tell us if the relationship we have is strong!!!
What you could provide to VBH/Director of Veteran Employment:
  • Profile
  • Resume
  • Company name(s)
  • Role(s) interested in
  • Applied jobs with the code
This helps the HR/TA endorse you from within and move you to an interview quickly. It's called the "Inside track". Interested, contact VBH now and REGISTER.
