Your Journey
The Veteran Experience
From your first visit to your first career match — every step built around you.
01
Create Your Free Account
Sign up in minutes — completely free, always. VeteranMATCH is built on the principle that veterans should never pay to find their next mission. Verify your service status through our secure ID.me integration to unlock your full profile.
ID.me verification ensures your military service record is authenticated — giving employers confidence in your background without requiring you to explain it.
02
Build Your Military Profile
Enter your MOS code, rank, years of service, deployment history, and key assignments. Our MOS Translation Engine instantly converts your military record into civilian-readable competencies — so employers see your true value without needing a decoder ring.
A 68W Combat Medic becomes "Trauma Care Specialist with 4 years emergency medicine." An 11B Infantryman becomes "Operations Leader with security clearance and high-pressure decision-making experience."
03
Complete Your Multi-Stage Assessment
Seven carefully designed assessment stages measure who you are — not just what you've done. Each stage is built on validated psychological and career science used by leading employers and the Department of Defense.
04
Receive Your VetMATCH Score™
Your assessment generates a composite VetMATCH Score™ — a single number from 0–100 built from 100+ weighted human attributes across seven dimensions. This score is your career identity on the platform. It tells employers not just what you've done, but who you are and how you'll perform.
Your full Career Intelligence Report breaks down every dimension — your leadership archetype, behavioral drives, EQ scores, derailers to watch, and the career paths you're most likely to thrive in.
05
Set Your Career Goals & Preferences
Tell the platform what you're looking for — target industries, location preferences, salary expectations, remote vs. on-site, leadership responsibility level, and your ideal work environment. These preferences are layered on top of your profile to further refine your matches.
06
Receive Ranked Career Matches
The algorithm runs continuously. As employers create positions and set their VetMATCH Thresholds, you're automatically ranked against their criteria. You receive a curated match list — ranked by compatibility percentage — showing which positions and employers are most aligned to your full profile, not just your résumé.
You can see exactly why each match scored where it did — which of your dimensions aligned strongest, and which employers' culture profiles match your values.
07
Connect, Apply & Advance
Apply directly through the platform with your VetMATCH profile — no résumé formatting required. Employers see your full Career Intelligence Report, not just a document. Access VetMatch University for skill development, connect with a veteran mentor, and track your application status — all from your dashboard.
Your Journey
The Employer Experience
From demo to your first precision-matched veteran candidate — built for speed and accuracy.
01
Request & Complete Your Demo
Schedule a 30-minute live demonstration with a VeteranMATCH employer specialist. We walk you through the Threshold Builder using your actual open roles, show you real VetMATCH Score™ profiles, and build a custom pricing proposal for your hiring volume.
No commitment required. No boilerplate slideshow. Your demo is built around your specific industry, role types, and hiring challenges.
02
Build Your Organization Profile
Your Organization Profile is the cultural fingerprint applied to every match across all your positions. Define your mission, values, organizational structure, team dynamics, communication norms, and growth philosophy. This profile acts as a universal filter — ensuring every veteran you see is already pre-aligned with your company's environment before you review a single candidate.
03
Create a Position & Set Your Threshold
For each open role, you build a VetMATCH Threshold — a weighted scoring benchmark that goes far beyond a job description. Define the success qualities, leadership style, motivational drivers, and advancement profile of the ideal candidate. Our AI assists by surfacing trending traits among top performers in similar roles across your industry.
The Threshold isn't a filter — it's a precision instrument. Every veteran's VetMATCH Score is measured against your Threshold and ranked by compatibility percentage.
04
Receive Your Ranked Candidate Shortlist
The algorithm immediately matches your Threshold against every veteran in the platform whose profile and preferences align with your role. You receive a curated shortlist — ranked by overall compatibility — with each candidate's full VetMATCH Score™ breakdown, Career Intelligence Report, and a Placement Confidence Score predicting their likelihood of long-term success in the role.
05
Review Profiles & Career Intelligence Reports
Each matched candidate comes with a full Career Intelligence Report — their personality profile, leadership archetype, behavioral drives, EQ scores, motivational drivers, top strengths, and the 1–3 potential derailers to probe in interviews. You walk into every conversation knowing more about the candidate than a traditional interview process would reveal in three rounds.
The report also shows you exactly which of your Threshold dimensions each candidate matched strongest — and where any gaps exist — so you can make informed decisions, not gut calls.
06
Connect, Interview & Extend an Offer
Initiate contact directly through the platform. Schedule interviews, leave candidate notes, and collaborate with your hiring team — all within your employer dashboard. When you're ready to extend an offer, VeteranMATCH provides resources to help you onboard effectively using the candidate's Career Intelligence Report as your guide.
07
The Platform Gets Smarter With Every Hire
Every veteran you hire, retain, and promote feeds back into the AI. The platform learns which profile attributes predict long-term success in your specific organization — continuously tightening your match accuracy over time. Your Threshold recommendations improve. Your shortlists get sharper. The longer you're on the platform, the better it gets at finding exactly who will thrive on your team.
