Employment Assistance for Members of the National Guard and Reserve
from Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR)
A new employment initiative program supported by Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) called Hero2Hired (H2H.Jobs) will be launched on December 16, 2011. H2H was developed to address the NDAA 11 call to provide employment assistance to members of the National Guard and Reserve under the Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program.
H2H is designed to help our Citizen Warriors find jobs with military-friendly companies who value employees with specific training and skills. H2H provides free, direct access to qualified candidates who already have background checks and security clearances, while reducing your recruiting and hiring costs.
The goal of H2H is to simplify the job search while reducing the number of unemployed Reserve Component service members. H2H.jobs also allows military-friendly companies to access the talented men and women who serve in the military, post job openings, search for candidates and invite them to apply, and participate in hiring events - all free of charge.
ESGR has become a true "value-added" resource with USERRA Law compliance assistance, and now a powerful comprehensive employment program with no charge to employers.
