Lucas Group Publishes Roadmap for Military Veteran Recruitment
ATLANTA (PRWEB) November 21, 2017 -- Lucas Group, North America’s premier executive recruiting firm, announces the publication of its newest white paper, “Overcoming Internal Obstacles to Veteran Hiring”, authored by Irvine, CA-based Managing Partner John Quinn.
With veteran unemployment rates at 2.7 percent in October 2017, leading-edge companies know veterans are part of a unique talent pool that delivers technical acumen and elite leadership capabilities. These companies are ready and willing to hire veterans. The challenge now is how to go about this hiring process successfully. The new Lucas Group white paper addresses this challenge.
“While much research focuses on veteran hiring benefits, less work has focused on how companies can successfully manage this hiring process,” says Quinn. “This white paper draws on best practice findings and presents a clear roadmap to overcome internal hiring obstacles.”
The white paper focuses on how three key obstacles – difficulty translating military skills to civilian work, misconceptions about veteran aptitude, and difficulty connecting with the right talent – can stymie the veteran hiring process.
“As veteran talent continues to be in high demand, companies are moving fast to hire these natural leaders,” says Quinn. “Companies that fail to proactively address internal hiring obstacles risk missing out on the rich veteran leadership pool.”
As a Managing Partner in Lucas Group’s Military Division, Quinn connects client companies to the US Military’s elite performers. Quinn is a Naval veteran who served five years as a US Navy Nuclear Submariner and graduated with Distinction from the US Naval Academy. He earned his MBA with Second Year Honors from Harvard Business School.
