HA News 68: Newest company giving hiring preferences to Military Spouses?

December 13, 2018

Who is Prioritizing Military Spouses?

Alongside some of my favorite companies like USAA, Starbucks, Prudential and Capital One, Walmart announces a new hiring initiative. Exactly one month ago, Walmart announced it will give hiring preference to military spouses, becoming the largest U.S. company to make such a commitment. The Military Spouse Career Connection, a new initiative by Walmart to recruit and hire military spouses, complements the 2013 Veterans Welcome Home commitment, enhanced in 2015, to hire 250,000 military veterans by 2020. It's always great to see spouses getting recognized for the skills that they bring to the table. Kudo's to you Walmart and Gary Profit!! You can read more about the initiative below.
