AT&T Military and Veteran OutreachEvery year, AT&T makes military veterans members of our team. The self-discipline, teamwork and skills gained as part of our armed forces allow for a successful transition to a career with AT&T, where many of those same values are part of our everyday culture.

Commitment to Hiring Veterans

Rather than simply hiring veterans to fill jobs and get them back to work, we are recruiting them into the right careers by matching their military experience, soft skills and career motivations to bring them into career fields that are long term growth opportunities.

In the past few years, we have enhanced our military recruitment programs by increasing our marketing and branding activities within the veteran community.

Additionally, in April 2013 AT&T announced that is stepping up its veteran recruiting efforts with the goal of hiring 5,000 veterans and their family members into career opportunities over the next five years, consistent with its commitment to equal employment opportunities. In November of 2013, AT&T doubled that five year commitment to 10,000.

In 2013, AT&T hired nearly five times as many veterans as compared to 2012.

Resources for Veteran Applicants

We understand that the job search and application process at large companies can be challenging for anyone—even more so for transitioning veterans who are entering a new world with a new set of jargon, so we’ve created online tools and resources and added checkpoints to help simplify our recruitment process.

We developed a program to educate AT&T recruiters and hiring managers on the benefits of hiring veterans. On an ongoing basis, our Military Talent Attraction team translates military terms for hiring managers and helps veterans match their experience with corporate needs.

All of AT&T’s external career opportunities (+/- 2,500 at any given time) are automatically advertised on dozens of career sites that reach the military veteran community (i.e. military.com, h2h.jobs, etc.).

We were among the first corporate employers to offer an online military skills translator where veterans can search for AT&T job openings using their military job codes. www.att.jobs/MOS

We offer testimonials on our career site from veterans who work at AT&T with links to their LinkedIn profiles so candidates can contact them directly. www.att.jobs/military

We launched a careers page for military spouses www.att.jobs/milspouse

We also incorporate job search and interview tips for veterans throughout our career site to reach candidates who don’t begin their job search from our military careers page. www.att.jobs/interview-tips

Additionally, we established a process for veterans to join our Veteran Talent Network, where they can participate in online video chat sessions or connect directly with an AT&T veteran to receive job search advice through AT&T’s Careers for Veterans program. http://veterans.att.jobs

Since the Careers for Veterans program’s launch in July 2011, almost 3,000 veterans have initiated the process to receive job search advice from hundreds of AT&T veteran employee volunteers.

Veterans who self-ID during our online application process receive an email thanking them for their service and directing them to online veteran resources including web chats and other careers tools.

Support for Our Military & Veteran Employees

AT&T’s Veteran Employee Resource Group has been in place for 30 years and has over 7,000 members. This group creates an instant community for veterans joining the company and engages them in outreach, philanthropy and volunteer opportunities.

Over 300 AT&T veterans serve as Career Ambassadors by representing the Company at veteran career events and through our Careers for Veterans Job Search Advisor program.

Our employees and retirees are also committed to supporting our troops, and in 2012, hundreds of them participated in the AT&T Pioneers, one of the largest industry-sponsored volunteer organizations in the country. AT&T Pioneers collect cell phones for recycling, prepare and send thousands of care packages to troops serving overseas, greet soldiers at airports, and host various other events nationwide to recognize the sacrifice and service of military members and their families.

We offer peace of mind for our military employees who are called to serve our country by providing them differential pay and other benefits for their families while deployed. We also guarantee a job when they return that is at the same level or above the job they left for deployment.

We also develop relationships with local Employer Support of the Guard and the Reserves (ESGR) to provide community support for our veterans being called into service and for the many employees who have family members currently serving.
