What is the best place to look to find veterans for hire?

Veteran

Dwight Brake Carrboro, NC

I have veteran owned and operated Butler Service. I was recently contacted by a film producer interested in making a reality show around my company. I want to share this opportunity with fellow veterans who are interested in being of the part the show. What are some resources (companies, websites, etc.) I can use to find other veterans who might be interested in this opportunity?

Dwight, I would say use clickfunnels.com for the ad and drive traffic then use Facebook Ads because you can go directly to veterans. You can configure the ad to only go to people who has liked specific pages. Find the Facebook pages for veterans and choose people who as liked them. (National organizations). You will have veterans for the next 5 seasons of your show. Make sure you spend $25 a day for 10 days. Clickfunnels is free for 2 weeks. $250 you will have all of the veterans you need and you owe noone anything. Look for veteran ads, right click and save them. Then print them out to copy the layout. Use SmartAdsBuilder.com to create the fb ads $67. All in you spent $317 and again you owe noone. You have the show, the vets (the cast), the butler service. You hold all the cards. Start an LLC called Brakes Casting so your paid for casting when the show airs and have it advertised in the credits, no exceptions. Make sure you get a piece of international not just domestic. Or if it's aired domestic ONLY that you own the international rights or rights to certain countries. (Make sure you research the highest ratings for reality shows worldwide). I think I should to tell you some things in private so reach out eyoung@uniworldbusiness.com.

Hi Dwight,

Besides the usual hiring websites (ZipRecruiter, Indeed etc.) where you can post available jobs I found these two links to be quite helpful in regards to finding veteran employees:

https://www.veteranjobsmission.com/small-business-tools/so-you-want-hire-veteran-checklist

https://www.dol.gov/vets/hire/index.htm

ACP Advisor Net also has a Jobs section, https://acp-advisornet.org/job-openings where you can post the jobs.

I hope this helps!

Best,
Florjan
