5 Reasons to Hire Ex-forces

Many people who are ex-military will find life after the forces difficult for a multitude of reasons, but one that shouldn’t be the case is finding new work.

Unfortunately, following their service to the country they find their opportunities numbered; with limited chance to put those skills into a new career.

Therefore, we want to give you 5 reasons why you should reconsider to hire ex-forces when employing;

  1. Work Ethic

Anyone who has served in the military will be used to working long hours, in non-traditional environments and will have been trained to as though every action, every minute is extremely valuable.

  1. Proven Leaders

Almost anyone that’s ex-forces will have been put into a post which requires leadership qualities at a very early stage of their time in the service. Thus, those qualities are drilled into them and become a part of every-day life.

  1. Extremely Focused

Everyone’s heard the term ‘clock watching’. Now imagine when it gets towards 5.00pm on a Friday and you’re finishing the most mundane of tasks and your ex-military employee continues to work as though they’re a university student who’s procrastinated until the day before their deadline. The difference? Consistency.

  1. Team Players

A huge amount of the training required in the forces will be around working in a team, relying on those around you to do their jobs and managing the work-load in an efficient manner; this translates into work-life perfectly.

  1. Instant Results

Through their proven experiences in the military, any ex-forces employee will prove an invaluable member of the team from day one, as immediate contribution will have been required in the forces.
