New Monopoly Card!

Hire a Vet, Collect Tax Credit!

Just wanted to update my followers on this pending legislation.  

The U.S. Senate voted Thursday on the "Veterans Opportunity to Work (VOW) to Hire Heroes Act of 2011," which would provide tax credits to employers that hire unemployed veterans and increase existing tax credits for employers that hire veterans with service-related disabilities. The act also would ensure that all military service members transitioning to civilian life receive the job training skills they need to find a job.

The act would provide a tax credit of up to $5,600 to companies that hire veterans who have been looking for a job for more than six months and a tax credit of $2,400 to companies that hire veterans who have been unemployed for more than four weeks but less than six months. If a company hires a veteran with service-related disabilities who has been looking for a job for more than six months, the company could receive a tax credit of up to $9,600.

The legislation also would make the Transition Assistance Program—an interagency project coordinated by the U.S. departments of Defense, Labor, and Veterans Affairs—mandatory for service members transitioning to civilian life. TAP offers career counseling to help military personnel secure 21st century jobs and helps older veterans of past wars by providing unemployed veterans with up to a year of additional benefits that can be used on expanded education or training programs.

The tax credits for hiring veterans were originally part of President Obama's "American Jobs Act." Last week, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced that he would vote for the act. The U.S. House of Representatives, which was in recess last week, is expected to take up the legislation upon returning to Capitol Hill, and is anticipated to pass the measure. President Obama has indicated that he will sign the legislation.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

About

Welcome to Concourse Group. I run the sales and marketing functions here, and also do a lot of the recruiting. I have 15 years of experience in this industry, and was in project management before that. If you have ever used a staffing service to find employees, or used a recruiter to locate and place you in a new position, then probably none of this process is new to you, and you know the ropes. If you are bored, you can stop reading here and contact me with an order or a resume. Easy!

Of course, if you aren't familiar with the process, then in summary here's what happens. Companies pay search firms to locate, interview, screen, background check, and hire specialized technical professionals. We network like crazy, pay for all sorts of job boards, maintain national and international partnerships, read stacks of resumes online, interview, interview, interview, and finally locate the right persons for the job. For candidates, we're sort of a matchmaking service, because your job is a huge part of your life, and we want you to have a good life. We're here to smooth things out, run interference, and become your recruiter of choice when it's time to move your career to the next step.

Concourse Group is a Woman Business Enterprise, and we focus on efficiency, speed, accuracy, and low overhead, in order to help companies hire and get on with what they do best; make economies move!

We are fully payroll funded and insured, financially sound, and growing. We're a responsible company, with formal legal training in hiring and placement, strict financial controls, with the knowledge and experience to advice both clients and candidates with honest, valid information.

Exciting times, as we move into the next business cycle of economic recovery and success. All of CG's job postings, and other short bits of current staffing information, will be found here often -- so check back when you can, and contact me at will - we promise to be one of your most efficient and worthy vendors.
