Ben Shorter from Ex Mil Recruitment takes us on his journey to creating an agency that exclusively helps ex-military professionals find jobs, including tech employment after their service.
Ben emphasises the often-overlooked diverse skill set of military recruits. From technical expertise to fast adaptability, he believes veterans possess a wide array of transferable skills that make them ideal candidates for various roles, especially in tech.
Understanding and empathy are key to Ben’s approach. He recognises how military roles, from risk management to technology expertise, can translate into valuable assets in the civilian job market. His insights have also highlighted the advantage of security clearances that many service leavers hold, opening doors in the tech industry.
