Veterans on Wall Street (VOWS) Announces Tenth Annual Veteran Symposium - Seite 3

“At WayUp, we know that military veterans are a great asset for companies and possess a multitude of talents and leadership skills,” said Liz Wessel, CEO and Co-founder, WayUp. “We also know that if organizations continue using rigid and old-fashioned hiring practices, they won’t be able to attract veteran candidates. This is just one of the many reasons we’re incredibly proud to be partnering with the Bob Woodruff Foundation and VOWS on this impactful initiative, and are excited to provide employers with a unique sourcing tool that will help them effectively hire more veteran candidates.”
