Simply Hired Supports Job Search for Veterans on NRD.gov

November 7, 2011 – Simply Hired, a search engine for jobs and recruitment advertising network, has announced that it will support the job search function of the National Resource Directory's employment site, NRD.gov, by giving veterans access to more than 500,000 job listings from employers who have human resources policies in place that are favorable to former military personnel. SimplyHired.com will populate the Veterans Job Bank with jobs currently available from its Veteran-Friendly Companies job search filter. This tool allows veteran job seekers to view job listings from DirectEmployers Association member companies who take affirmative action to employ veterans in conformance with federal laws and regulations. “According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2010, the unemployment rate for veterans between 18 and 24 years old was 20.9 percent,” said Gautam Godhwani, co-founder and CEO, SimplyHired.com. “In response to this problem, SimplyHired.com has been committed to helping veterans find a job that they love while taking advantage of their unique skill sets through our Veteran-Friendly Companies job search filter.”
