“We’ll build a 7 figure new store and we’ll fight with the A/C or negative air pressure for months or years, all because the equipment was never set up properly, causing problems that extend for the life of the building. Your reports allow us to know everything is set the way it should be from the beginning.”

July 25 is [National Hire a Veteran Day](https://www.blogs.va.gov/VAntage/50758/july-25-national-hire-veteran-day/). At Melink Corporation, we have veterans at nearly every level of our business, and we make hiring veterans a priority year-round.
Melink's veterans are in roles ranging from leadership to sales to field service, via Melink’s national network of technicians. In total, veterans comprise approximately 12% of Melink [Employee-Owners](https://melinkcorp.com/blog/employee-ownership-month).
We have found that our military veterans are loyal, hardworking, and have a strong sense of integrity. They bring a different perspective on life, leadership, and hard work. Hiring and employing veterans offers Melink a chance to support those that have given so much for our country. It is a mutually beneficial relationship, and our veterans’ military values easily translate to Melink’s core values.
#### **How We Hire Veterans**
To help us get matched with veterans, we work with a couple recruiting firms. Originally, we started working with the firms to find the right type of candidate to fill the challenging role of a Melink [Field Service Technician](https://melinkcorp.com/blog/the-test-and-balance-professional).
For this role, veterans seem to be a natural fit and are drawn to the position. The role requires travel, a self-reliant work ethic, and adherence to a specific code of conduct. Plus, a technician is often away from his or her family for an extended amount of time.
For me, hiring veterans is rewarding on several different levels. I feel that we understand the capabilities of these individuals and that we can translate their military experience into the civilian job market.
Because several of us in the leadership team are veterans ourselves, we have a unique advantage when hiring veteran talent. We truly enjoy the chance to provide opportunities to those who have also sacrificed and taken up the call to serve our nation.
#### **Meet Our Veterans**
