Military Talent

As a prior-enlisted, Naval Academy graduate, candidate at military fairs and placement teams, hiring manager, agency recruiter, and now a military staffing manager at Sears Holdings, I wanted to see a blog that tied it all together; a one-stop shop for MILITARY TALENT. This blog is to share "mentoring" and "networking" between candidates, recruiters, and clients. The battle for top military talent is getting more challenging due to lower percentages of recruits entering the armed forces, and steps taken to keep folks in ($). Let's share our best practices and lessons learned.

Working for a third party recruiting team like Kaye/Bassman was both rewarding and eye-opening.  The unique experience of reaching out to all industries, all levels of military talent, and all areas of geography taught me a lot about Talent Acquisition.  I am honored that Sears has offered me a spot to put these lessons learned to action.  Starting April 7, I'll be the Manager of Specialty Talent Acqusition which lets me dive into the talent pools of military, diversity, and college.  For those that have their own experiences to offer, I look forward to learning....for those that are in my battle space, I look forward to crossing swords in the War for Talent.
 
Cheers,
Phil
