The Staffing Corps Helps Get Veterans Back to Work

The Staffing Corps Helps Get Veterans Back to Work
Veteran-Owned Staffing Company brings Veterans and Local Businesses together in the Charlotte, NC area.
Rock Hill, SC – David Gunter knows firsthand the uncertainty of returning to civilian life after military service. “I spent 12 years in the US Marine Corps, including four tours in Afghanistan. I was happy to serve my country, but when I got out, I needed to start my next career. I was fortunate to secure a job right away, but some of my fellow veterans were not as lucky. As I helped them find positions, I realized there was a real need to fill, and The Staffing Corps was born.”
The Staffing Corps will initially serve veterans and business owners within a 200 mile radius of Charlotte, NC, although future plans call for expansion throughout the Carolinas. David brings his understanding of military skills and experience as a Marine Corps recruiter to the company. His business partner, Diane Wagner, is a business coach and entrepreneur who has both started successful small businesses and worked in corporate America. David’s background in the military and Diane’s experience in the businesses community provide an excellent framework to connect qualified veterans with businesses looking for top talent in the Carolinas.
According to a recent survey, one million service members will be leaving the military in the next five years and two thirds of them say finding a job is their biggest worry. The Staffing Corps believes that many veterans have difficulty translating their military experience into job opportunities in civilian life. Similarly, employers have jobs to fill but do not understand the military system well enough to see where a veteran will be a good fit. With contacts at bases throughout the Carolinas, The Staffing Corp will bridge that gap and bring top talent to businesses in the Charlotte area and beyond.
About The Staffing Corps
Founded in 2014, The Staffing Corps is a veteran-owned and operated permanent placement firm whose sole focus is the veteran community. They serve the men and women of all branches of the military. The Staffing Corps will help employers looking to hire veterans understand how the experience obtained during the individuals military service will translate into the jobs they need to fill. Veterans bring a wealth of technical skills as well as, respect, discipline, the ability to follow orders and adapt to changing environment.
