“For me, it is a way we serve and give back and is also a continuation and expansion of the service we provided with the Army PaYS Program.” 

- Paul Volpe.

Did you know that today's transitioning military men and women are of the highest caliber in US history with regards to training, leadership, and knowledge, skills and abilities (KSA's) and Forward March Inc has been helping organizations Attract, Hire and Retain Veterans for their employment needs for over 25 years. 

Our President Paul Volpe has over 10 years of active-duty military recruiting experience to include being the Army Recruiting Command's program expert for the Army PaYS (Partnership for Youth Success) program.  He has been the architect for military hiring programs for companies like Accenture, Harley-Davidson and Union Pacific Railroad and many more large and small employers.

With that proven experience FMI will provide employers the best and brightest military talent while incorporating our one of a kind training, marketing and messaging services to ensure meeting and exceeding our partners expectations.

Our Military Talent Pipeline services address all phases of the candidate process from sourcing, recruiting, screening candidates through on-boarding, integration, and retention.  Every program is customizable and scale-able to our client's needs and budget.

We will leverage our one-of-a-kind military transition network of connections and find the military and veteran candidates to meet your hiring needs.

Syracuse University Institute for Veterans and Military Families recently published “The Business Case for Hiring a Veteran – Beyond the Clichés” which provides great insight into the benefits that employers enjoy when they hire military talent. Benefits such as training and transferable skills, technical training, comfort in discontinuous environments, trust, resiliency, team building skills, commitment, cross cultural experience, and experience with diverse work-settings are just a few of the things veterans bring to an employer today.

Today's Veterans transition out of service with a wealth of experience, skills, and leadership so partner with FMI and let us help you connect with America's Best talent.
