Step 1 — Military Profile

Tell us about your service.

Your military background is the foundation of your VetMATCH Score™. Every role, rank, and year of service carries transferable value that most civilian platforms can't see.

"Your MOS isn't just a code — it's a blueprint of leadership, technical expertise, and mission discipline that most civilians spend a career trying to build." — VeteranMATCH AI

Upload Your DD-214 Optional
Uploading your DD-214 significantly improves your VetMATCH Score™ accuracy by giving our AI verified service data — dates, MOS, rank, and discharge status — rather than relying on self-reported information alone.
Why your DD-214 matters to your score
  • Validates your MOS/AFSC code, enabling precise civilian career translation across 900+ job families
  • Confirms years of service, rank at separation, and deployment history — all high-weight scoring attributes
  • Employers who see a verified DD-214 badge on your profile are 3× more likely to initiate contact
  • Unlocks the Verified Veteran badge on your public profile

Step 2 — Personality Profile

The Big Five: How you show up.

The OCEAN model is the gold standard for predicting real-world job performance. Rate how accurately each statement describes you — there are no right or wrong answers.

Why this matters for your score

Your Big Five profile is one of the highest-weighted inputs in the VetMATCH Score™. It predicts fit across 32 behavioral dimensions and is cross-referenced against employer culture profiles in real time.

Openness
Conscientiousness
Extraversion
Agreeableness
Emotional Stability

Openness to Experience

Reflects curiosity, creativity, and willingness to explore new ideas and perspectives. High scorers thrive in ambiguous, fast-changing roles.

Strongly Disagree
Strongly Agree
0 / 5 answered

Conscientiousness

Measures self-discipline, organization, and goal-directed behavior. One of the strongest predictors of job performance across all industries.

0 / 5 answered

Extraversion

Captures energy direction — toward people and external stimulation (extraversion) or toward ideas and internal reflection (introversion). Neither is better; both predict specific role types.

0 / 5 answered

Agreeableness

Reflects how you interact with others — cooperative and empathetic vs. direct and competitive. Critical for matching to team dynamics and leadership styles.

0 / 5 answered

Emotional Stability

Measures resilience, stress tolerance, and emotional regulation under pressure. Veterans often score exceptionally here — this dimension validates your operational experience.

0 / 5 answered
Step 3 — Behavioral Drives

What drives your behavior at work?

Based on the Predictive Index and DiSC frameworks, these 8 scales map your natural behavioral tendencies — how you lead, communicate, process information, and respond to workplace demands.

"Behavioral drive data tells us more about leadership trajectory than any resume. It's how we identify your ceiling — and it's usually much higher than you think." — VeteranMATCH AI
Workplace Archetype

Select the statement that most accurately describes your natural behavior at work.

Self-Perception
When you think of how colleagues would describe your work style, which fits best?
Step 4 — Leadership & Emotional Intelligence

How do you lead and connect?

Based on Hogan Leadership, EQ-i 2.0, and DiSC leadership frameworks — this section identifies your leadership archetype, potential derailers, and emotional intelligence indicators.

Leadership Style

Select your primary and most natural leadership approach (choose one).

Emotional Intelligence Indicators

Rate yourself honestly on each statement. (1 = Rarely / 5 = Almost Always)

Potential Derailers (Hogan HDS)
This is not a trap

Derailers are traits that emerge under stress — behaviors that may have served you in the military but can derail civilian leadership. Identifying them is a strength. Every high performer has them. Honest answers here dramatically improve your match quality.

When under significant pressure or stress, I sometimes:

Step 5 — Values, Strengths & Growth

What are you built for?

Inspired by CliftonStrengths and Core Drivers — this section maps your natural talents, core motivators, and Enneagram type to identify both your ideal roles and your long-term advancement ceiling.

Career Values — Select Your Top 5
Selected: 0 / 5
Enneagram Type (Self-Identification)

Select the type that resonates most with your deepest motivations and behavioral patterns. This is used for team compatibility and culture matching.

Advancement Potential Indicators
Step 6 — Work Environment & Life Goals

Where do you thrive?

Work environment fit is one of the most underweighted factors in veteran career placement — and one of the top reasons veterans leave their first civilian role. Be specific here.

Location & Physical Setup
Organizational Culture

Select the culture that best matches how you operate. (Choose up to 2)

Step 7 — Final Signals & Score Generation

One last step.

Optional social connections dramatically enhance your VetMATCH Score™ accuracy. Our AI analyzes engagement patterns, topics, and communication style — not personal data — to build a richer attribute profile.

How social signals are used

We analyze what you engage with, communicate about, and react to — interests, professional topics, communication style, group affiliations. This adds depth to your behavioral profile without accessing private messages or personal content. You control what we see. All data is encrypted and never sold.
