HireDS Announces Virtual Job Fair as part of its "Be A Hero, Hire A Hero"
Virtual Job Fair is a significant leap beyond traditional two-dimensional platforms
NEW YORK, NY, September 26, 2011 /Human Resources PR News/ -- HireDS, LLC - a certified disabled owned company promoting the inclusion of our Veterans and people with disabilities into mainstream employment - today announced that as part of its "Be A Hero, Hire A Hero" Global Veterans Career Expo in New York City aboard the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, it is hosting a Virtual Job Fair. The Virtual Job Fair will launch on November 7th and run for 30 days thereafter. It is an ideal platform for employers who cannot be present aboard the Intrepid, but still want to recruit qualified Veterans and their families - including Wounded Warriors.
The 2011 Veterans Career Expo is being held in partnership with No Greater Sacrifice and the New York City Business Leadership Network. The Expo represents the ongoing commitment by HireDS to link qualified Veterans and their families - including Wounded Warriors - to the employers seeking to hire them. It comes on the heels of the highly successful career expo held on May 24th at the New Yorker Hotel. Between 3,000 and 4,000 Veterans are expected to participate.
"We're excited to partner with Global Diversity to host the Virtual Job Fair as part of our Global Veterans Career Fair, thereby allowing employers to recruit Veterans spanning the globe," said Jeff Klare, President & CEO of HireDS. "Using the modern marvels of technology, our virtual component provides a rich interactive experience all of which is easily set-up and configured by or for employers...and easily accessible to Veterans from any computer, any time. It allows us to reach well-beyond the city limits of New York City."
The "Be A Hero, Hire A Hero" Virtual Job Fair offers:
• Ease of orientation for employers and job seekers to connect;
• Comprehensive virtual booths with a litany of value-added features;
• Workshop or seminars; and
• Social media and media integration features.

The unemployment rate among Veterans has remained disproportionately high, staggering around 13.4% - more than 4 percentage points higher than the national average - according to the latest figures released by the U.S. Department of Labor. There are over 1 million military Veterans currently unemployed.
