Adland Faces Challenges Recruiting Veterans
Posted in: Uncategorized
Don Faul, head of operations at Pinterest, is a Facebook and Google alum with an MBA from Stanford, but it was his experience as an infantry officer with the Marines Special Forces that put him on his path toward his corner of Adland.
“I was looking for a lot of the things I’d loved about the military,” Mr. Faul said. That meant the opportunity to lead a team, the fast pace, the technology and even adapting to sudden changes and challenges. “Those are experiences people bring out of the military. That’s what we train people to do,” he said.
Veterans often have exactly the type of skill set recruiters in Adland are looking for, said Erin Hazard, who leads the Military and Veterans Affairs Practice at FleishmanHillard, which was founded by an Army Air Corps public information officer and a Navy lieutenant.
