MidAtlantic Employers' Association Partners with RecruitMilitary to Launch Veteran Hiring Initiative.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. -- RecruitMilitary, LLC, and the MidAtlantic Employers' Association (MEA) have announced that they will partner to promote the hiring of military veterans to the Association's 700 member companies. RecruitMilitary offers online hiring products and other tools that can help MEA member companies and other employers find skilled employees among the men and women who have served in the United States armed forces.

RecruitMilitary offers subscriptions that entitle employers to view its database of more than 90,000 job candidates who have military backgrounds, and to post an unlimited number of job descriptions that are viewable by those candidates. The database, at www.recruitmilitary.com, is highly diverse with respect to branch of the service, military rank or rate, gender, and ethnicity.

"This partnership will have several benefits," said Drew Myers, President of RecruitMilitary and a former Marine Captain. "Veteran job seekers will gain access to more job postings, and their resumes will be accessible to more employers. MEA will offer companies a great new way to meet their staffing needs. Participating companies will obtain access to our database, acquire the capability of posting jobs at our site, and the partnership will help us grow our business."

MEA members are entitled to display a special graphic identifying themselves as "Veteran-Friendly Employers." The graphic will be available as an electronic file for participating members' Websites, e-mail messages and other online communications; and for their stationery, business cards, brochures, bulletins, and other print materials.

To show their support, MEA will host a Breakfast Briefing on Friday, September 16, 2005 from 8:00-10:00 AM for members to learn more about the partnership between MEA and RecruitMilitary. Attendees will also learn how hiring skilled candidates with military backgrounds can support Affirmative Action Plan efforts as it relates to Veteran-hiring, and staffing needs. Pre-registration is required by calling [phone] or by e-mail: [e-mail]. There is no cost to attend this program.
