Military Hiring Portal Assisting With Workforce Needs

A new Military Hiring Portal,  a talent-attraction tool of New North Inc., the regional marketing and economic development corporation for the 18 counties of Northeast Wisconsin, providing direct access to the highly skilled military talent pipeline, now is available for the use of companies in the New North region to help meet their workforce needs.

The Military Hiring Portal is part of the New North Hires Heroes program, launched on Veterans Day in November 2020. It is a collaboration between New North Inc. and Mission Wisconsin, an organization dedicated to serving the military community by connecting them to professional opportunities, resources and benefits throughout the state. New North Hires Heroes is just one piece of New North’s larger strategy to attract talent to the region.

“Having this dedicated hiring portal will provide businesses in the New North region with direct access to the highly skilled military talent pipeline,” says Rebecca Deschane, vice president of talent development for New North Inc. “Equally important, these are individuals who have indicated an openness to relocation. Veterans are extolled for their leadership, dedication and technical expertise, and are a good fit for many of the employers.”

““From the perspective of the military veteran and his or her family, the New North region is an attractive place to relocate. Our cost-of-living averages 19 percent less than the national average, our average commute times are among the best in the country and Wisconsin is ranked as the number-one state for veteran benefits.”
