Conclusion

We Are Military Serving Military™

CASY & MSCCN’s mission is straightforward: we

provide military service members, veterans,

transitioning military, Guard and Reserves, military

spouses and caregivers of war wounded with no-cost

employment readiness and job placement solutions.

Our team is comprised of military veterans and military

spouses who have HR/recruitment backgrounds and

understand what employers need.

We do this by offering high-touch employment and

training services that prepare the individual for

employment through resume assistance, translating skills

and experience, identifying gap skills solutions, offering

training on networking, social media, interview

preparedness, and other topics that aid them in the job

search process. Our job seekers are pre-screened and

matched to employment opportunities that are a good fit

for their skills and qualifications.

We then connect qualified and prepped military-affiliated

applicants directly to corporate and small business hiring

recruiters for direct job placements.

Results Driven 8 Years of Proven & Tracked Success Benefit to Our Military Job

Seekers

• High touch program. Credentialed staff assisting

them with their employment readiness needs.

• We assess job seekers so that they understand their

qualifications and what they are capable of doing.

Translator tools are great but they cannot do the

interview for them.

• Job-Ready Applicants are assigned to our "Applicant

~ Recruiter Direct-Connect Program” for placement

with a position that is a match for their qualifications.

• For those who need further assistance we provide

mobile training, on-the-job training, and other

opportunities that provide gap skills needs required for

employment – all programs are employer back so

they finish and they are hire.

• We help service members and veterans meet short

term and long term financial needs! Job placement

meets short term; professional development and

financial health meet long term.

Benefits to Recruiter/Employers We Deliver Qualified, Pre-screened, Military and

Veteran Candidates – FAST

• Our highly credentialed team administers our industry-

leading “Applicant ~ Recruiter Connect Program” and

our military employment placement campaigns.

• We DRIVE qualified, thoroughly screened, military-

affiliated applicants who are employment ready to the

DESKTOPS of hiring managers.

• We provide fully accountable job placement numbers

to our companies by utilizing a hybrid Applicant

Tracking and Case Management Technology provided

by Kenexa-IBM.

• We conduct virtual employment readiness training

seminars in order to prepare and educate job seekers,

and to ensure job readiness and job expectations.

• We help companies meet compliance requirements.

• We provide education and training to recruitment

teams regarding military and veteran hiring.

What Makes Us Different 1. We are not a job board! We are a results driven job seeker preparation and

placement program. We are adept at identifying and solving hiring obstacles

through our programs. We work and support military employment programs. And

we provide a viable recruitment solution for our recruiters by offering a quality talent

pool, education, training and support.

2. Boots to the ground! We are high touch with our job seekers and we are a part of

the community we serve. We have Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) to

work with all branches all over the world.

3. We are inclusive rather than exclusive. We work with and support our military

employment programs with each branch and train military employment counselors

on best practices in employment. Our mission is great and no one group can help

everyone. It takes a village or, in this case, a nation to make it happen.

4. We are experts in our field. Our team is made up of military veterans and military

spouses who are experts in employment.

5. We direct connect with recruiters. Yes, we focus on the 85% of work that no one

wants to do (which is employment readiness), but we also work with Recruiters on

the last 15% — which is to talent match our job seekers to the jobs, pre-screen all

qualifications, and communicate with the recruiter on placement.

6. We provide real metrics from a technology built by experts in employment. Case

management has become a common term in Washington as everyone wants

metrics, however few really understand what this means. CASY & MSCCN use a

hybrid applicant tracking and case management system with assessments and

tracking capabilities. This system was built by CASY-MSCCN and Kenexa-IBM to

support military employment counselors, giving us a place where we can work with

our military job seekers to prepare them for employment (resumes, translating

military to civilian employment, etc.), provide gap skills training, assess and talent

match these individuals to jobs, and direct them to our recruiters to apply for the position.
