MSCCN Salutes Kenexa Recruiter® BrassRing and Community Gateway: Solution Enables Mission to Fulfill its Vision of Job Search, Placement and Recruitment Management

  

For the spouses of men and women dedicated to serving our country, getting assigned to a new duty station often creates many challenges. Not only does it require a search for new housing, it may also mean looking for employment. Although onsite military transition programs prepare enlisted service members and their spouses with career counseling and resume building, these programs focus on job opportunities rather than job placement.

Because the military lifestyle requires frequent transfers—typically every three years—spouses who arrive in a new location may find many organizations unwilling to employ them knowing there is a finite span on their tenure. Recognizing the financial and emotional toll that recurring relocation has on military spouses, their families and careers, Deb Kloeppel, wife of a serviceman, decided to help families overcome potential income challenges and employment hurdles often accompany the military lifestyle.
