Hire Vets

 

Veteran’s Preference Information

Veterans who are disabled, who served on active duty in the Armed Forces during certain specified time periods or in military campaigns are entitled to preference over others in hiring for virtually all federal government jobs.

Veteran’s Preference Advisor

The Veterans’ Preference Advisor was developed by the Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) to allow Veterans to examine the preferences for which they might be entitled with regard to Federal jobs.

In addition, VETS allows Veterans’ Preference claimants to submit a claim electronically VETS staff members are available to provide technical assistance prior to filing an official claim.

The Veterans’ Preference Advisor is one of a series of elaws (Employment Laws Assistance for Workers and Small Businesses) Advisors developed by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to help employers and employees understand their rights and responsibilities under Federal employment laws.

Service members transitioning out of the military have unique capabilities that can bring value to an employer. But it’s often a challenge for employers to understand veterans’ potential career trajectories that map back to these capabilities. Please contact Don Moore. dmoore@eightfold.ai
