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.

| "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.
