Recruiters are always looking for the latest technology to make their lives easier. And when it comes to recruiting veterans into civilian roles, recruiters are in luck! Earlier this year, CareerBuilder announced that it was collaborating with Google Cloud to transform the industry standard for job search.

All of the job searches on careerbuilder.com—and its 4,000 talent networks—are powered by Google’s cloud-based machine learning solution (Google Cloud Talent Solution), which enables faster, easier connections between candidates and employers.
The Google Cloud Talent Solution feature is now available for use on the CareerBuilder website. This new feature allows U.S. military service members to enter their military occupational specialty code (MOS, AFSC, NEC) and find relevant civilian jobs that require similar skills to those used in their military roles.
According to CareerBuilder research, 40% of employers reported that they plan to actively recruit U.S. veterans for their jobs in 2018. Sixty-eight percent said that, if they had two equally qualified candidates and one was a veteran, they would hire the veteran.
An estimated 250,000 military members enter civilian life each year. By creating a feature for transitioning service personnel to use their MOS codes to find civilian jobs, Google Cloud is helping CareerBuilder to ensure that the skills veterans acquired in the military transfer to their new profession and that they can connect with top employers.
Key Features of Google’s MOS Code Functionality
Veterans can now enter their MOS, AFSC, or NEC code directly into the search bar of careerbuilder.com or the talent networks for any of CareerBuilder’s clients and instantly see civilian jobs that match their experience in any location.
Military rank codes are supported in the system. For example, both “11A” for Infantry Officer and “11B” for Infantryman are supported.
From sourcing, advertising, and applicant tracking to background checks and beyond, CareerBuilder is focused on providing powerful artificial intelligence technology for every step of the candidate-to-employee lifecycle. Aligning development with Google Cloud opens the door to further collaboration across CareerBuilder’s end-to-end solutions.
