WeHireHeroes:
THE MISSION
We Hire Heroes, LLC (dba WeHireHeroes.US) is an
Internet based company that connects employers
looking to hire veterans, with military veterans and
spouses that are looking for them - and then helps
them establish successful working relationships by
providing coaching, workshops, tools and resources
for both groups.
At We Hire Heroes, we
believe that much of the PR
money and political capital
being spent trying to
convince employers to hire
veterans, (while well
intentioned), is grossly misplaced.
While we appreciate the publicity and attention, as
veterans ourselves, our experience has been that
there's no shortage of employers who want to hire
prior-service personnel. The real problem is they
can't find us - because there's no national database
of job-seeking veterans.
So we decided to create one, in the form of a huge
social network built specifically for veterans and their
supporters. We started building this social network
a full year before we launched the site, and it is
now one of the largest on the Internet. (Our LinkedIn
group alone stands at more than 16,000 members.)
Rather than trying to be the world's
biggest job board,
the WeHireHeroes.US career resource center is actually
built around a network of local
job
boards, connected
to a social media "publicity megaphone"
that
allows
employers a direct pipeline to the veteran community,
while also providing
resources and
coaching to help
candidates land and keep the positions they want.
Because we are veteran owned and
operated, we
understand veterans
better than most. We also
respect the incredible capabilities that
veterans
bring
to the table - and we are
in a unique position to
help
make those
assets
available to employers nationwide.
The truth is, there are lots of jobs are out
there looking
for veterans, and lots of
veterans out there looking for
those jobs.
Our mission is to provide a system
that consistently brings the two together.
At We Hire Heroes, our
singular passion
is helping
to solve the problem of veteran
unemployment.
Government can help,
but as veterans we
know that problems
always get solved
faster once we're done
just talking
and start doing what we
do
best -
working together.
Remember basic training? The biggest lesson we
learned from Day
1 was how to win as a team.
We invite you
to join our team:
- If you're hiring, post
your positions here.
- If you're a veteran-friendly
business, advertise
on the site to reach the veteran community and
show your support.
- If you'd like to show your support for our
cause, become
a
sponsor
and get your message
directly to a market with a total purchasing power
of more than $1 trillion annually.
- And if you're a veteran looking for work, use the
site to locate lots positions that are looking for
you. Then use the Resource Center for tools and
information to help you land the job you want.
Finally, help spread
the word about WeHireHeroes.US.
Together, we WILL end the shameful reality of veteran
unemployment in America!
