"The Truth about Hiring Veterans"

With

William Toti

Speaker & Consultant


More than 50% of military veterans walk away from their first job within two years of being hired.
Your company is likely losing millions in recruiting and compensation when veteran employees quit 
and have to be replaced.

How would your company be different if you could beat these odds?

Bringing a wealth of wisdom,

retired US Navy captain and former CEO of Sparton Corporation,

William Toti is the voice of authority on military transition to industry, industry leadership, 

and many incredible events in US history. 

 

Problem Statement:

  • Your company likely spends millions of dollars recruiting and compensating your military veteran employees.
  • Statistics indicate that more than half of veterans will fail in their first job out of the military.
  • More will voluntarily leave their first company after recognizing their failure to adapt to their new job or company culture.
  • These sunk costs cannot be recouped by your company.
  • As a 26-year military veteran, a 15-year corporate executive and hiring manager, to include a tenure as CEO, William Toti understands why this happens and how to minimize that loss.
  • To use the military expression, if your company approaches the problem of veteran employee training and retention the same way despite repeated failures, you are “steering by your wake.”
  • William can help you learn how to avoid millions of dollars lost when your military veteran employees fail to transition effectively into your company.  

 

His book:
"From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership" 
is a must-read for recruiters, hiring managers, and military personnel transitioning to industry.

\\ From CO to CEO \\

A Practical Guide to Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership

Each year, over 200,000 service members transition life and career paths after separation from the military. You’ve served your country dutifully, and as a member of the US armed forces you’ve also developed a discipline, drive, and skillset admired the world over. Your success in the civilian job market after your military career ends is all but ensured, right?

Smooth sailing into civilian life and career is sadly not the transition that many service members encounter. In fact, statistics and real-life reports from former predecessors show struggle in the area of career change. More than half of those surveyed about the process felt as if they had little to no help with the transition.

That’s why William J. Toti, retired naval officer and former CEO of Sparton Corporation, wrote From CO to CEO: A Practical Guide for Transitioning from Military to Industry Leadership. From CO to CEO aims to help you get the most out of your industry career with a step-by-step guide to navigating the search, interview, and negotiation process and helps you acclimate to your new environment and to accelerate your climb to the top.

"When you first talked about transitioning, you were probably asked what you wanted to do for your second career. But a better question is, where do you want to be in ten or fifteen years?"
