State and WorkSource Spokane create system for companies to hire veterans
Washington’s Employment Security Department and Spokane WorkSource are making it easier for employers and veterans to find each other.
Job seekers who post résumés on go2worksource.com can check a box that lets employers know if they’re veterans.
Employers who post job openings on go2worksource.biz can check a box indicating they will give veterans a preference in their hiring process.
Both companies and veterans can use the sites’ search tools to find each other.
A state law adopted last year gives private-sector employers a legal right to give veterans and some spouses a hiring preference.
