Introducing Veteran Talent Source: A new era for veteran hiring

The competition for top talent has never been fiercer, and military veterans remain one of the most undervalued segments of the workforce. Today, we're thrilled to announce a strategic partnership that's redefining how employers discover, engage, and hire veteran talent: RecruitMilitary Veteran Talent Source, powered by Findem Copilot.

This advanced AI-powered platform unites RecruitMilitary’s deep bench of veteran and military spouse talent with Findem’s unmatched 3D data engine, enabling recruiters to understand — not just identify — military experience at scale.

Why great veteran talent gets overlooked

Veteran status is easy to identify. It’s often listed right on a candidate’s resume. But understanding a veteran’s experience — what their roles mean, what their outcomes were, and how they align to civilian jobs — is where most employers hit a wall.

Employers can’t translate hidden skills  

Recruiters and hiring managers often don’t know how to assess military resumes or ask the right follow-up questions. As a result, qualified veterans get overlooked for open positions. It’s not for lack of experience, but because their backgrounds don’t fit neatly into job titles or keyword searches.

Our data reveals that in roles like software engineering or account executive, veterans often have 2–4 more years of experience than their civilian counterparts. Furthermore, veterans are 55% more likely to reach executive leadership and 31% more likely to stay with a company over four years.

But without the tools to surface that experience, high-value talent remains hidden.

Talent teams are already stretched thin

Even when employers are committed to hiring veterans, talent teams often lack the bandwidth and tools to follow through. Veteran hiring becomes a “nice-to-have” instead of a core strategy — not out of neglect, but out of constraint.

Legacy ATSs, manual resume reviews, and job titles alone simply don’t capture the nuance of military backgrounds.

How AI makes military experience visible and relatable

Veterans bring operational excellence, foresight, and leadership. But that’s not always obvious on a resume. AI can fill in the gaps — translating context into clarity. And that’s exactly what we’ve set out to do with our partnership.

3D data powers the difference

Veteran Talent Source creates continuously updated, multidimensional profiles by drawing on over 100,000 verified data sources. These 3D profiles go beyond job titles to surface:

• Inferred skills and values
• Career trajectories and scope of impact
• Functional experience and leadership capabilities

This enables recruiters to assess fit quickly, accurately, and without switching between sources. 

Attribute-based discovery simplifies translation

With Veteran Talent Source, hiring teams can search using real business needs, not just job titles:

• “Show me veterans with secure communications and threat analysis experience.”
• “Find logistics specialists with real-time operations leadership.”

Copilot translates military experience into recruiter language, making the invisible visible.

Efficient workflows free up recruiter time

Veteran Talent Source eliminates the manual work of validating military resumes, researching MOS codes, and mapping experience. That means talent teams can focus on building relationships and moving top candidates forward.

Building an inclusive, scalable veteran hiring strategy

Veteran hiring isn’t just about equity in intent. It’s about equity in execution. And AI makes that possible. Veteran Talent Source removes the barriers that have historically made veteran hiring difficult. It gives recruiters the tools to:

• Understand veterans in context
• Match unique veteran skills to business outcomes
• Scale veteran hiring as part of a larger DEI and workforce strategy

This is more than a sourcing tool. It’s a shift in how talent is discovered, understood, and valued. When companies get past the translation barrier, they see higher ROI, with people staying longer and leading at greater capacity.
