At ERE’s conference last month in Hollywood, Florida, a panel of recruiters from Sodexo, Wal-Mart, and elsewhere, as well as an employment-law attorney from Ogletree Deakins, discussed the hiring of men and women who had served in the military. Here are some of the notes jotted down from that session — websites that might be useful. Thanks to John Amodeo and HireVelocity for compiling it.

Thanks Todd. A decent list, but it (curiously) omits some of the biggest and most established resources that employers utilize.
Find out more about how to hire and retain military-experienced talent at our blog:

In addition to great info on this subject, you’ll find links there to some of the resources omitted above.

Here is another great one to check out. It’s a niche site that has grown tremendously over the alst year.
We have had great results from it.

Actually,this is a very small list of the sites that are out there. I know this is just a sample, but there are hundreds of resources for hiring Veterans.
