The CVR Scoop
Press Release: The Buller Group Announces the Successful Completion of its First Veteran Recruitment Training Program
What Participants Had to Say
"This program is extremely valuable to veteran recruiters of all levels. The content, real-life application exercises and best practices sharing is unmatched to many other courses/trainings I have attended." -Defense Contractor
"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." -Defense Contractor
"A must for anyone wanting to hire a Wounded Warrior. Valuable, hands on, real life experiences that you will not receive any place else." -Television Broadcasting Company
"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
"You have to register for this course if you truly are committed to hiring Veterans." -Global Telecommunications Company
"The program showcased the population and how new knowledge about fitting them into our cultures will go far. Its about educating our businesses, which will ultimately impact our bottom lines." -Global Industrial & Defense Engineering Contractor
Veterans are a unique subset of the labor market, and largely unfamiliar to civilian recruiting professionals. Lack of adequate knowledge and skill with Veteran & Wounded Warrior job candidates is a prime contributor to the high rate of unemployment. Training recruiting professionals to effectively source, screen, interview, assess and hire this valuable segment of the labor market is critical to the success of any Veteran hiring initiative.
The Certified Veteran Recruiter (CVR) Program is a new two-day training course for professional recruiters, designed to establish competency in all aspects of the recruiting lifecycle as they pertain to the military Veteran & Wounded Warrior job candidate. The CVR Professional Credential designates recruiters who complete the CVR course as having expertise in Veteran talent acquisition. The CVR Program is industry accredited by the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI).
