In episode one of Hidden Talent, host Erin Trafford guides us as we are introduced to some of the challenges faced by employers looking to hire and the 10,000 skilled, experienced and educated Canadian Armed Forces members that transition out and are seeking to join the civilian workforce every year.   We’ll meet Lisa Taylor, President of Challenge Factory, employers Sarah Dunkley, president of Stellar Outdoor Advertising and Santa’s Village in Bracebridge, Ontario and Janine Harris, founder and executive producer at Keyring Media, and retired CAF members Chris Stoyles and Trevor Vautour. Highlights: Why finding suitable candidates with military experience can sometimes feel like looking for a needle in a haystack How finding hidden talent in Canada’s Veteran communities can be as simple as asking a few questions in your own community and network When the applications start rolling in- The number one thing employers should remember when identifying the best person for the job What keeps those with military experience from highlighting the skills developed through their military career
