Hiring Firm Uses Super Bowl to Announce Veterans Hiring Initiative

A Chicago-based job-recruiting firm says it plans to find jobs for 10,000 veterans this year.

PeopleScout says it placed about eight-thousand veterans last year, and wants to build that number. The company's annual conference for its clients is scheduled around the Super Bowl -- it brought in former Steelers coach Bill Cowher to give its plans a Super Bowl glow.

Patrick Beharelle, CEO of parent company SeatonCorp, says the company will work through veterans' groups like the American Legion to get more veterans into the pool from which hires are made, and prioritize veterans' experience during the hiring process.

The announcement comes the same day as President Obama appeared in Virginia to plug his proposed Veterans' Job Corps. Governor Daniels says the corps and other veterans' hiring initiatives Obama has rolled out are good ideas, but predicts they won't be as effective as private efforts like PeopleScout's.
