Add your specialty to your profile once: roles that fit it arrive in your matches every day. Your specialty stays private - it is never shown on your profile or to employers.
From the O*NET military crosswalk of the U.S. Department of Labor and its two supplements (the services' COOL credentialing sites and the ASVAB Career Exploration Program). Each civilian occupation's job titles go through the same reader that sorts every posting here, and the role areas are weighted by how many of the specialty's civilian links point to them.
Do employers see my specialty?
No. If you add it to your profile it only shapes your own matches: it is never shown on your profile, to employers or in any data we publish.
What does "recognised for hiring veterans" mean?
The company is on the U.S. Department of Labor's list of HIRE Vets Medallion recipients, an award for recruiting, employing and retaining veterans. We match the list to companies by name and place, and show only confident matches.
How fresh is this?
Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
