RecruitMilitary and Purple Heart Services Launch Veteran Hiring Initiative

Cincinnati, OH -- Purple Heart Services has joined forces with the military-to-civilian recruiting firm RecruitMilitary, LLC, to promote and help deliver 72 Veteran Opportunity Expos throughout the United States in 2010. RecruitMilitary Opportunity Expos are free of charge to veterans who already have civilian work experience, men and women who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life, members of the National Guard and reserves, military spouses, and other military family members.

Purple Heart Services (PHS) will help RecruitMilitary by reaching out to veteran-friendly employers, franchisors, and educational institutions that are eager to recruit veterans. PHS (www.purpleheartservices.com) will also promote the Expos to job seekers among its own membership and the veteran community at large, and will exhibit at Opportunity Expos. The PHS logo will appear in RecruitMilitary Opportunity Expo advertising and marketing documents, both print and electronic, and on the RecruitMilitary website.

“All of us at RecruitMilitary are delighted that Purple Heart Services has joined our Opportunity Expos team,” said Drew Myers, the president and founder of RecruitMilitary and a former Captain in the United States Marine Corps. “The Purple Heart Services Program meets a great need in the veteran community, and we are proud to be associated with it.”

“We are proud to partner with RecruitMilitary to help combat wounded and disabled veterans find employment after their service. We think RecruitMilitary is the leader in job placement to those leaving the active military and know that this partnership will result in new jobs for deserving veterans."  said Ken Smith, Chief Technology Officer for Purple Heart Services.
