Hirepurpose operates as a specialized human capital services platform focused on connecting military veterans, transitioning service members, and their spouses with civilian career opportunities. Founded in 2011 by Zach Iscol, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, the company was established to address the gaps in the transition process from military service to civilian employment. Iscol's background as an infantry officer with two tours in Iraq, including service in the Second Battle of Fallujah and Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC), directly informed the company's mission. His experience building MARSOC, which required creating new systems to screen and select personnel, provided a blueprint for helping companies establish talent pipelines for military-experienced individuals.
The company functions as a job searching platform and talent attraction solution, serving a dual clientele. For job seekers from the military community, Hirepurpose and its veteran career coaches offer free services, including resume reviews, targeted job search assistance, and weekly webinars to aid in the transition. For corporate clients, which include Fortune 100 companies, Hirepurpose provides a suite of sourcing and talent attraction solutions. This involves creating targeted marketing campaigns, offering access to a proprietary database of military talent, and promoting clients as veteran-friendly employers to help them meet their military hiring goals. Revenue is generated through these B2B services, which include programmatic job advertising and customized talent acquisition strategies.
The platform's core offering is its job distribution network, which allows veterans to browse and apply directly to partner companies. These partners are industry-leading organizations across a wide range of sectors. In March 2021, Hirepurpose was acquired by Orion Talent, a firm with over 30 years of experience in military talent placement. This integration combines Hirepurpose's targeted outreach and digital platform with Orion Talent's extensive database and recruitment infrastructure, aiming to create a more robust and comprehensive service for both veterans and employers.
