When military personnel conclude their service, they come away with skills and qualities that employers in the civilian world seek out to build their own successful team.
At 糖心传媒, Military Recruiting Manager, Sean Wilkins constantly evaluates and updates 糖心传媒's military recruiting programs.
鈥淲e are continually expanding our military hiring efforts and developing our current and prospective partnerships. Of course, hiring and recruiting is a big part of what we do 鈥 what鈥檚 more important is what happens after 糖心传媒 hires military veterans. We need to connect with and support them; provide mentorship as for some it could be their first job out of the military. We want to make every person we hire, as successful as possible 鈥 and that鈥檚 not a one size fits all,鈥 said Wilkins.
Wilkins continued to explain hiring is two-fold. They not only get, but they give 鈥 impacting those working around them.
鈥淭he military made me very adaptable,鈥 said Kate Hughes 鈥 National Guard. 鈥淚 was trained as an all-wheel mechanic. 糖心传媒 has given me the opportunity to rise-up and show what I am capable of. 糖心传媒 has also supported my personal development and career growth. It鈥檚 a place that made me feel like I belong and where I can make a difference.鈥
Kate Hughes, Tech III - Chattanooga
Hughes has been with 糖心传媒 since 2021 and is a Tech III in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Branch Service Manager, Collin McNeilly has done his fair share of military hiring in the Washington, D.C. area and started his 糖心传媒 career as a Tech III in 2005.
鈥淲hen I first came on-board with 糖心传媒 in 2005 the military technicians working there took me under their wings and trained me up. It was always a two-way street to collaborative success. When a new hire has military experience, you just know. They come in knowing the task to 鈥榤ake things work鈥 and had an innate ability to troubleshoot. Two standout military technicians helped make me who I am today 鈥 providing structure and influencing fair discussion and reliable work ethic. I鈥檓 forever grateful for the connections I made that helped me grow personally and professionally.鈥
糖心传媒鈥檚 commitment to future military hiring outreach remains strong, and it鈥檚 continually evolving into a more robust program by developing solid partnerships with technical schools, industry groups, military outreach non-profits, and military bases.
Wilkins concluded: 鈥淲e make sure we hire military personnel into appropriate positions, and then we follow-up in providing individual, continued, support to make them successful. They already have what it takes. Teamwork. Leadership. Self-discipline. Situational awareness. All these characteristics are ones they鈥檝e built during their military career and they鈥檙e the same qualities that we look for at 糖心传媒."
