The Buller Group Announces the Successful Launch of its Military Veteran Recruitment Training Program
Participants Report Measurable Increase in Veteran Talent Acquisition Skills
HERNDON, Va., August 23, 2012 - Global human capital services firm The Buller Group announced today the successful launch of its ground-breaking Certified Veteran Recruiter (CVR) Program. The CVR Program educates recruiting and HR professionals on the key skills and knowledge needed to address Veteran talent acquisition and retention and is being viewed by government leaders as an important part of the solution to Veteran unemployment.
Even the most experienced participants reported measurable increases in skill and awareness as a result of the course, particularly in sourcing, resume translation, screening, interviewing, and Wounded Warrior job candidates. In the words of one participant – representing a Fortune 20 company and leading member of the 100,000 Veteran Jobs Mission – "You have to register for this course if you truly are committed to hiring veterans."
Further increasing the Program’s impact, The Buller Group partnered with Walter Reed Military Medical Center to incorporate a group of severely wounded service members, adding real-time career application for both participants and Veterans.
“The CVR Program incorporates all of the elements necessary for employer success, including networking with local veteran employment resources, as well as helping Wounded Warriors which is particularly important to all of us at The Buller Group” said Emily King, Vice President of Military Transitions.
Here is what some participants had to say:
"I can now do a far better job at making the business case to hiring managers for why they should hire veterans. We as Human Resources executives need this valuable information to help lead our client organizations." -Senior HR Executive
"I thought I knew a lot about this topic but, as they say, 'you don't know what you don't know,’ and this will impact my understanding of how to work with Wounded Warriors and Veterans for life." – HR Manager, Fortune 100 Company
"The program showcased the [Veteran] population and how new knowledge about fitting them into our cultures will go far. It’s about educating our businesses, which will ultimately impact our bottom lines." –Recruiting Lead, Forbes Top 200 Private Company
The CVR Program’s Certificate of Completion bears the official seal of the Human Resources Certification Institute (HRCI), and awards 15 credits toward PHR & SPHR recertification.
The Buller Group will host two more open enrollment sessions of the CVR Program in 2012, on October 9-10 and December 4-5, in Reston, Virginia. To learn more about the Program and to register, please click here.
