Veteran Hiring Initiative

Former Military Personnel are a Unique Talent Pool for the Private Sector - Logistics Included

Veterans bring unique abilities and experience to the civilian workforce that can bolster any employer’s business, including hard-to-teach traits like leadership, loyalty, dedication, self-motivation, sustained performance under pressure, the ability to carry out complex procedures, and the ability to work as part of a team. These are characteristics that every employer is looking for, especially Americold.

Americold has worked with partners to design a customized solution for interviewing Vets, by identifying locations where local labor pools are scarce, and then proactively building a pool of veteran candidates available to work in those geographies.

“Our veteran workers exhibit excellent traits such as a commitment to service excellence, attention to detail, safety, teamwork, accountability, and most importantly, are solution-oriented: they never let a problem stand in the way of a solution,” says Patricia Elkon, Manager of Talent Acquisition at Americold. “We seek top talent to help us meet our mission: to be the global provider of choice for temperature controlled infrastructure and supply chain solutions through our innovation, experience, and people. Hiring veterans helps us to achieve this goal – and we find it extremely rewarding to partner with veterans who have such an excellent track record and who have given so much to our country.”
