FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is there any financial risk for my company?

NEVER! It costs you nothing to evaluate and interview your Candidate Shortlist of service members who meet your requirements. You only pay our Sponsorship Fee if you decide to hire one.

What is your Sponsorship Fee?

$1,500 per month…which comes out to around only $8/hour! There are no additional placement fees if you decide to convert the new hire to a W2 employee (everyone’s goal!). We never allow our Sponsorship Fee to prevent you from hiring military talent. If you need any flexibility, let us know and we will make it work for you!

How fast does this process take?

It usually takes 7-10 days for us to present your Candidate Shortlist

Is it accurate that I'll really save $20,000?

Absolutely! Here’s an example: Let’s say you have a $80,000 position you need to fill. That will cost you roughly $105,000 when you add benefits, insurance, and payroll taxes. If you don’t have to pay that for four months, you’ll save $26,000 ($100,000 x .25). Back out our fee in this example, $6,000 ($1,500/mo x 4 mos) and you’ll have a PROFIT of $20,000.

How long has 7 Eagle Group been in business?

This is our 10th year of assisting hundreds of great companies hire military talent. We’re very proud of the strong reputation we’ve earned in the military community.

Where can I learn more about SkillBridge?

Check out https://skillbridge.osd.mil/ for details on this amazing program.

Why does the DoD offer this program?

It eases the Service Member’s transition to the civilian workplace and dramatically increases the likelihood of W-2 employment. It also allows him or her to receive valuable on-the-job training experience and beef up the resume in case the match doesn’t work out. About 93% of all SkillBridgers end up staying on with the company making this program a huge success.

Will I have to train the Service Member from scratch?

Not at all! Our candidates possess 4 to 20+ years of relevant military experience. You’ll of course have to train the new hire in your company’s SOPs, but you can rest assured you’ll receive a superstar team member who will add enormous value.

What happens after the initial 3-4 months?

If your new hire is a good match — this occurs 93% of the time and is everyone’s goal — you’ll convert him or her to a permanent W2 Employee. If not, you’ve done a patriotic act by providing a valuable work experience that the Service Member will leverage to getting hired elsewhere.

Am I obligated to convert the Service Member to a W2 Employee?

That is the goal for everyone, but there is no obligation if it’s just not a good fit.

Why is this such a smart way to hire?

When you get to see a new hire in action actually doing the job, you’ll know instantly if he or is a good fit. This eliminates the enormous risk of a bad hire.

Can you present Candidates with Active Government Clearances?

Yes,the majority of Service Members possess a Top Secret Clearance. You can feel confident you’re getting a “squared-away” new hire!

What if I need someone who has already worked in my industry after the military?

No problem! We’ll headhunt the ideal Veteran who already has civilian experience under his or her belt. Our fee is 20% of the first year salary. That comes with a 90-day free replacement guarantee.

Are there other tax incentives for hiring military talent?

Yes! You may be able to apply for a Work Opportunity Tax Credit of $2,400 to $9,600 for every eligible Veteran you hire. 7 Eagle Group is NOT affiliated with this government program and has no influence over whether you get approved.
