Veterans Talent Services
Veterans frequently find post-military careers in the industries we serve, and we regularly get requests from our clients to find qualified candidates with military experience. With the addition of Partner Luke Hill, a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Joseph Chris Partners is proud to dedicate a team to help Veterans connect with client companies in our industries.
Military Veterans bring many soft skills to the table that make them excellent hires. For example, Veterans live and work in proximity with people from all over the country and oftentimes, all over the world. This gives the Veteran a unique ability to integrate and understand people of all different walks of life easily. This also gives the Veteran a perspective that is unlike any other you will find.
Veterans have an unmatched commitment to mission accomplishment and are used to collaborating and thinking outside the box to get the job done. In the military, no mission is accomplished by one section alone. Every single mission involves different departments coordinating to plan and execute to accomplish the desired end state, and often, this requires a non-traditional approach.
Finally, a Veteran offers you devotion to the team and buy-in on company values that cannot be taught. From day one in basic training, the military drills it into the new recruits that they are a part of something bigger than themselves. They are no longer an individual; they are a Soldier, a Sailor, an Airman, or a Marine. They are accountable to each other and take care of each other. “We’re all green,” we say in the Marine Corps. This results in the Veteran having a powerful sense of loyalty, and a desire to contribute to the success of the team.
Luke Hill was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Born into a family with a legacy of military service dating back to the American Revolutionary War, he joined the Marine Corps after high school. Luke served as a Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Specialist in multiple locations around the world. Luke achieved the rank of Corporal, and as a noncommissioned officer, learned the leadership and mentoring skills that he has carried into his civilian career.
Following his honorable discharge, Luke returned home to Houston and became a recruiter for an apprenticeship program focused on the construction skilled trades, eventually becoming the Lead Recruiter for the firm. In that role, Luke led and mentored a team of Recruiters, resulting in the successful placement of over 200 Veterans in craft trades during his tenure.
When Luke joined Joseph Chris Partners in 2020, he wanted to create a service for Veterans that would allow him to blend his passion for recruiting and his mission for helping Veterans find their own fulfilling post-military careers. As Director of JCP’s Veteran Talent Services (VTS), Luke has a platform to carry that mission even further and help even more Veterans given the company’s national reach and vast network of client companies in the construction industry.
