Site For Military Job Seekers Adds City Specific Features

The Destiny Group, operator of one of the Top 50 career web sites in the world, announced today that it has launched a new technology allowing employers to view resumes and interact with military personnel job seekers for select city markets for as little as $395 per event. Reaching the military job seeker has never been so affordable for those companies anxious to hire transitioning and former military personnel.

Site For Military Job Seekers Adds City Specific Features
"The Destiny Group is proud to add this new visibility for our nation's veterans, this puts our career center within reach of a tremendous amount of veterans/former military personnel and makes it affordable for all types of employers to initiate a military hiring program as part of their overall recruitment strategy".

"Previously, an employer was required to engage placement firms to receive such a high level of personal service" states Bill Gaul, President/CEO of The Destiny Group. "Now, instead of paying fees upwards of $10,000 or more for each qualified applicant, using our premium level of services, hiring managers can receive applicants that have been QUALIFIED, BRIEFED, SELECTED, and show MOTIVATION for a company's interviews. This is much more than a job board or a resume bank, it is an interactive tool to meet and greet screened applicants in a personal setting, at a fraction of the cost of even a job fair."

The Destiny Group provides career assistance to veterans and to those employers anxious to tap transitioning military personnel, without cost to the job seeker, and eliminating placement fees to the employer. Twice chosen as one of the TOP 50 Career Websites by CAREERXROADS, it is the only military specific niche career site to offer a unique profiling system in addition to a resume database, and job posting system.

Furthermore, The Destiny Group has been named as the preferred and ongoing sponsor for the military channel of the widely successful alumni site, Classmates.com. This site alone gives our featured employers visibility with over ONE MILLION veterans. This is in addition to the exclusive career centers Destiny operates for such esteemed military associations as the Air Force Association and Navy League and various military schools. Classmates.com has built the leading alumni site on the web connecting people through either their prior military service, school affiliations and/or former employers giving them the ability to reunite through membership. Classmates.com claims 29 million registered members with at least 1 million veterans, and is ranked among the top 15 most visited websites in the world.

"The Destiny Group is proud to add this new visibility for our nation's veterans, this puts our career center within reach of a tremendous amount of veterans/former military personnel and makes it affordable for all types of employers to initiate a military hiring program as part of their overall recruitment strategy. The economy is continuing to improve, and we have already seen a renewed interest in hiring veterans, due to their security clearances and prior skills/values.  This added alliance will allow us to meet the expectations of our growing client base by increasing our talent pool dramatically while spotlighting employment opportunities."

Gaul states that the uniqueness of our system allows former military, transitioning officers (both JMO and Senior),  Non-commissioned officers, Service Academy Graduates, disabled veterans, military spouses, military physicians, military nurses, and military allied health personnel to showcase their skills in a site customized for their backgrounds. "If an employer is just looking for an engineer, they can best be 
served elsewhere, however if they are looking for a mission oriented leader and team player, who happens to have technical skills as well, then they've come to the right spot." Without paying per head costs and allowing the government to pick up the relocation costs for transitioning military personnel, an employer can find quality talent at a fraction of the capture costs using conventional means.

About The Destiny Group: (http://www.destinygroup.com) Founded in 1997 as an online career center for military personnel, it has quickly grown to become "Best of Class" for its niche. It is privately held.  For more information, contact Bill Gaul, President, 750 B Street, Suite 1840, San Diego, CA  92101; 619-696-8700; fax 619-696-8795; email info@destinygroup.com.  For additional information on our new hiring forum program, http://www.destinygrp.com/destiny/forum/forum_promo.jsp
