Your current profile gets you into the Talent Exchange. Membership covers the full journey, from how you build your program to who sees it.
Candidates judge your company by your brand and by their experience with your HR staff, who may not understand how military experience or language translates to your roles. Member privileges close that gap.
Data on your program’s specific strengths and gaps.
Best practices on recruiting, hiring, retaining and advancing the military audience.
Open sessions for all; 1:1 support and strategy consulting by level.
Your program measured against similar companies.
Most transitioners have been in uniform since 18. They are brimming with talent but lack a civilian network, and they look for employers that are recognized and trusted before they apply.
Your place in the Guide, plus physical recognition.
The right to display one of the most trusted Seals in military recruiting.
Reserved for Members. Reach installations worldwide in every issue.
Stories that leverage MilitaryFriendly.com’s domain authority.
Name recognition is the long-term anchor, but you still need to engage the community during key hiring cycles and seasonal spikes.
List your ten strongest roles for Veterans.
Candidate search, résumé downloads and a dynamic Employer Profile.
Campaigns driving applicants to your company using first-party data.
Engage candidates in real time, with digital webinar and interview booths.
Discounted placement support for urgent and high-volume hiring.
Like-minded in mission, different in perspective. Everyone in the room is committed to serving the military community. A defense prime, a trucking fleet and a regional bank each solve it differently, and that difference is what you learn from.
A roster of Members in good standing, open only to Members.
Semi-annual, closed door reports and access to Member-only webinars.
Every level includes your Rating plus all Four Pillars. Higher levels add depth.
