Destiny Group Expands Network of Military Sites

May 24, 2006; 03:32 AM

The Destiny Group (http://www.destinygrp.com/destiny/index.jsp) has expanded its existing network of 100+ military sites with the addition of two more highly-sought veteran affinity groups – NavySeals.com and the 101st Airborne Association.

“Creating the most value for employers to tap this top talent pool is our sincere desire,” states Bill Gaul, President/CEO of the Destiny Group. “With ‘one stop shopping’, employers can automatically have their job opportunities visible on the sites that veterans visit most for no additional effort or cost.”

The Destiny Group has created a unique network of military sites that cater to the various interests and needs of veterans. Each site offers a career center that is powered by Destiny’s proprietary software, adding both content and functionality not available elsewhere. Any visitor can enter the network through any partner site, and view more than 100,000 job postings. Employers benefit from increased exposure, as well as the ability to search any segment of the consolidated resume database available through any of its affiliates.

"As the top web destination for Navy SEAL and Special Operations information, we seek to add value to these highly trained veterans transitioning to the private sector,” states Mark Divine, founder of NavySeals.com, a division of U.S. Tactical, Inc. "The Destiny Group provided the functionality and content we desired to match the high standards we exemplify."

The functionality has been added to more than 100 military specific domains, attracting members of all the five basic services and also the allusive ‘former military member’ that has obtained additional business acumen after finishing their service commitment.

“A primary consideration in adding The Destiny Group to the 101st Airborne Division Association's web site, was the opportunity it will provide to those leaving active service -- and our existing members -- who are seeking new career possibilities or changes of employment,” states Sam Bass, Executive Secretary and Treasurer of the 101st Airborne Association. “Destiny Group's proven track record of service to other military organizations made the decision to add them a simple one. Their service will be invaluable to our Screaming Eagles transitioning to a civilian career.”

In remembrance of Memorial Day this year, Employers are urged to review their recruitment strategy to insure they are taking steps to proactively introduce veterans to their opportunities. For a very small investment, this is accomplished by visiting either The Destiny Group or any of its partner sites.
