What Ex-MilitaryCareers.com does

Ex-MilitaryCareers.com is a UK-headquartered, online recruitment platform and social enterprise that connects ex-military personnel — including veterans, service leavers, reservists, disabled veterans, and military spouses — with employers seeking to hire from this talent pool. The platform operates a job board organized across 40+ sectors (Defence, Engineering, IT, Healthcare, Financial Services, Automotive, etc.), a candidate CV registration and skills database with email job-alert notifications, and sits within the Trinnovo Group per referenced privacy-policy disclosures.

The company's core product suite comprises the Ex-Military Careers main platform, the Ex-Military Foundation mentorship and bespoke training sub-brand (CV guidance, interview preparation, mentors from Banking, Recruitment, Professional Services, FMCG, and Engineering), Courses & Learning via ELCAS-approved providers, and Events/Webinars for service leavers and employers. Technology is described as a web-based job board with candidate database, job posting, and employer-candidate matching functionality, integrated with Broadbean and other job multi-posters for wider vacancy distribution. A dedicated US sub-site (us.ex-militarycareers.com) and a franchise licensing channel indicate distribution expansion. Named employer engagements include the Barclays AFTER programme, Jaguar Land Rover's Ex-Armed Forces recruitment programme, UBS, and Broadgate Search.

The business model is primarily employer-side: companies pay for 12-month job-advertising subscriptions with vacancies live for up to 3 months per posting, with a 20% volume discount for agencies; corporate sponsorship is sold as a CSR-aligned offering; and training/course providers pay to advertise. Candidates register for free. The company self-describes as an independent social enterprise with focus on purpose over profit, sustained by employment partners and corporate sponsorship.
