INvets, a nonprofit organization focused on helping service members transition to civilian life in Indiana, has unveiled new technology designed to simplify the job search process for veterans.
According to a Veteran Opportunity Report conducted by LinkedIn, underemployment is a significant challenge for transitioning service members. The report highlighted key factors contributing to this issue, including difficulties translating military skills to civilian roles, lower wages, and the migration of talent.
To address these challenges, INvets partnered with Bridge My Return (BMR) to develop the new technology. This free tool features an AI-powered skills-matching algorithm, a military skills translator, and an auto-generator for resume creation, making it easier for veterans to connect with suitable career opportunities.
“This new software will allow us to better serve our 13,000 members and 600+ employers, as well as attract new jobseekers and talent seekers,” explained Sarah Harrison, INvets’ CEO. “We are excited to pioneer this innovative solution to help our military members find new or more desirable work.”
The platform allows members to create detailed profiles highlighting their skills and experience. It then generates a professional resume and matches members with career opportunities from vetted employers. Members can apply for these opportunities with a single click. Employers can easily import job listings and integrate them with their applicant tracking systems.
Once a job is posted, employers receive a ranked list of candidates from the INvets database who best match their requirements. Employers can also refine their search by filtering candidates based on military branch, rank, military roles held, education, experience, job search status, separation date, and other criteria.
BMR also offers White Label Solutions, which are customized and branded for organizations with substantial numbers of both military job seekers and employers. This helps them improve their connective tissue, freeing up resources for faster and more effective job matching.
