Job brief
We sit with the hiring manager and the people already doing the job. We want the parts that aren't in the posting.
FIGHTS ON · Personnel Launching
Hire people who already know how to be counted on
Direct-hire placement of veterans and military spouses into skilled trades, logistics, operations, and management. Every candidate is personally interviewed, briefed on your environment before they walk in, and debriefed with you at 30, 60, and 90 days.

Veteran placement
Veterans.
It's all we do.
FIGHTS ON Personnel is a veteran-led placement firm built for one talent pool: the men and women leaving military service, and the spouses who served alongside them. We aren't a generalist agency with a military desk. We know how the ranks, ratings, and job codes translate, because we've held them.
Our leadership was built over decades of command and operations at every level, from small teams to large organizations, at home and in combat. That's the same standard we bring to your hiring: brief the mission, execute it, and debrief it honestly.
Veterans already hold their own in the job market: unemployment was 3.5% for veterans in 2025, against 4.2% for nonveterans. Our job is to put the right one in the right seat, and keep them there.

The process
Every placement flies like a sortie
01 · Brief
02 · Plan
Bench match
We present a short slate of people we have personally interviewed, with a written read on fit and risk.
03 · Execute
Two-way brief
Your candidate is briefed on your environment. You're briefed on what they're coming from. Then they interview.
04 · Debrief
30 / 60 / 90
The same recruiter debriefs both sides at each mark, so problems surface while they're still cheap to fix.
The difference
Not an event
The national military-recruiting firms are built around hiring conferences and candidate databases. That model is transactional by design: it optimizes for volume of introductions, and the relationship ends when the invoice clears.
We're built around knowing people. Our recruiters carry a small bench and stay with a placement through the first year. When a hire struggles, we already know why, because we've been talking to both sides the entire time. That's slower, and it's the whole product.
It also means we can feed our own companies. Every veteran on our bench is a candidate for your opening and for the Pathway, and the ones who take the Pathway become the operators and owners inside FIGHTS ON.
Military spouses
The family served too
Active-duty spouse unemployment was 21% in 2021, nearly five times the civilian rate, because a career gets restarted with every move. That is talent sitting on the bench.
We recruit and place military spouses alongside veterans, with the same one-on-one relationship and the same 30/60/90 debriefs. Tell us when a role can travel or work remotely, and we'll put it in front of the people who need a career that survives a move.

Our guarantee
90 days, or we fly it again
If a placement resigns or is let go for performance within 90 days of their start date, we run a replacement search for the same role at no additional fee. The 30/60/90 debriefs exist so it rarely comes to that.
Job placement request
Tell us the seat you need filled
The more specific the role, the faster we can put the right veteran in front of you. A recruiter works your request directly and responds within 24 hours. You will not be handed to a queue.
Founding partners

We're open now. Our first employer partners help shape how candidates are briefed for their environment, and they get first look at the bench as it forms.
