Military Transition - Veteran Recruiting
Helping Veterans and Organizations Exceed Their Potential
The United States Military educates and trains the most effective and progressive leaders in the world. As these professionals leave the service and begin to build civilian careers, they bring with them a powerful combination of purpose, work ethic, leadership and an unmistakable drive to succeed.
In 2021, Korn Ferry acquired Lucas Group, founded in 1970 with a focus on recruiting veterans for leadership and technical roles in corporate America. Our military transition recruiters are not only accomplished in the industry, but most are veterans and reservists themselves. This deep knowledge and personal experience with the military enables us to recruit directly from the top talent pool and thoroughly screen every candidate for both proven results and future potential. No other organization has our track record, scale, or IP to ensure success.
We have successfully helped over 50,000 veterans transition to the civilian workforce. With veteran recruiters from every branch of the U.S. Military, we work with professionals who command the renowned skills, experiences and character of the world’s finest workforce. Results matter in every business. And that’s exactly what we deliver.
