For years companies have tried hiring freshly transitioned military veterans although found a high-level of difficulty cracking the code of military identifiers and how those identifiers relate to their open positions.

After implementing Veterans.jobs and MilitaryFamily.jobs, I was approached by Carrie Corbin from AT&T, a DirectEmployers member company, and asked if we could adapt the Veterans.jobs Military Crosswalk technology to fit AT&T's specific veteran hiring needs.

Today DirectEmployers Association is providing companies with a corporate branded solution which helps crack this very difficult code and aid in the identification of qualified candidates. This answer is in the form of a company specific Military Jobs Crosswalk platform powered by the DotJobs Universe. This innovative platform automatically provides a simple translation or "crosswalk" interface which allows service men and women preparing to transition into civilian life the opportunity to use their current Military Occupation Code (MOC) to easily find civilian jobs on corporate sites.

For Example:
(Army) 25B = Information Technology Specialist (Civilian)
(Navy) 0904 = Critical Care Nurse (Civilian)
(Marines) 1310 = Civil Engineer (Civilian)
(Air Force) 3D032 = Network Administrator (Civilian)
(Coast Guard) 91 = Physician (Civilian)

Every platform is flexible and manageable by the hiring company allowing addition or change of branding, video content, talent community interface, or possibly just plain text thanking our service members and inviting them to join their company's ranks.

Military Crosswalk PILOT companies:
ATT-Veterans.jobs (AT&T)
Providence-Veterans.jobs (Providence Health & Services)
Camber-Veterans.jobs (Camber Corporation)
ConocoPhillips-Veterans.jobs (ConocoPhillips)

This is not the answer to every military hiring ill for a company although it provides the cornerstone all companies need to start communicating effectively with our military men and women who are transitioning into civilian life daily and wanting to explore an exciting new life and career.
