What veterans and employers ask us every day.

Helping veterans get jobs

For Veterans & Transitioning Service Members

Where can I find jobs for veterans near me?

You’re not limited to your local area. At VHS, we connect you with mission-aligned employers nationwide. Whether you're exploring a career in your hometown or across the country, every service we offer—resume translation, coaching, and placement—is 100% free to you. Even better, our Video Job Descriptions (VJDs) let you see the hiring manager and real work environment before applying, so you can evaluate fit from anywhere.

What are the best veteran-friendly employers to work for?

The best employers don’t just thank you for your service—they understand it. We work with companies that translate your military experience into real leadership roles, prepare you for the interview, and show you who you’d actually work for. That’s the VHS difference.

How do I find jobs that value military experience?

Skip the vague job boards. VHS uses video job descriptions where the hiring manager explains the job, the environment, and the expectations—no buzzwords, no ambiguity.

Most just post listings. We go further. VHS translates your MOS, rank, and mission experience into civilian terms employers understand.

Do I have to pay for veteran employment services?

Never. At VHS, all services are free to veterans and military spouses.

What makes VHS different from other veteran job programs?

About Our Model

Why do veterans respond better to video job descriptions?

Because hiring is human. Traditional postings are vague and lifeless.

What is performance-based hiring?

It’s simple: stop screening resumes for checkboxes. Start defining what the job must achieve and find people who’ve done that.

How does VHS support veterans after they’re hired?

We coach them through transition—not just job prep, but what to expect culturally.
