????對于想要招聘擴大退伍軍人招聘規模、但又不知道從哪里入手的雇主，諾頓有兩個建議。“首先，詢問公司已經招聘的退伍軍人，”他說。“向所有員工發送郵件，問問他們誰是退伍軍人，同時愿意提供幫助。這時你可能會吃驚地發現，很多人都會站出來。”

????美國電話電報公司的退伍軍人資源小組（Veterans Resource Group）創建于上世紀80年代早期。當時，一小群越南戰爭時期的退伍軍人走到一起，創辦了一個簡報。如今，這個小組已經擁有了4,300名成員，對這家公司的計劃作出了至關重要的貢獻。

????諾頓的第二個建議是，幫助回國退伍軍人找工作的組織有很多，比如“10萬就業使命”（100,000 Jobs Mission）組織。不妨選擇一個，加入其中。10萬就業使命這個組織由摩根大通（J.P. Morgan Chase）領導，擁有49個成員公司，包括《財富》雜志（Fortune）的母公司時代華納（Time Warner）。過去3個月里，該組織已經聘用了12,179位退伍軍人，并將于7月12日在芝加哥舉行一個全國性的招聘會。

????“10萬就業使命這類組織的好處在于，它們使用人單位有機會與其他公司交流心得以及最佳實踐，這樣就可以迅速地知道哪些做法有用，哪些沒用，”諾頓說。“不要完全靠自己從頭摸索。”

????For employers who would like to recruit more veterans but aren't sure where to start, Norton has two suggestions. "First, ask the vets you already have to get involved," he says. "If you send out an email to all employees, asking anyone who's a veteran if they'd like to help, you might be surprised at how many people step forward."

????AT&T's Veterans Resource Group began way back in the early '80s as a small band of Viet Nam-era veterans who got together and started a newsletter. The group now has 4,300 members and has been essential to the success of AT&T's programs.

????Second, Norton suggests joining forces with one of the many organizations set up to match returning veterans with jobs -- for example, the 100,000 Jobs Mission. Led by J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM), the group's 49 member companies (including Fortune's parent, Time Warner (TWX)) have hired 12,179 veterans in the past three months and will hold a national job fair in Chicago on July 12.

????"The great thing about the 100,000 Jobs Mission and similar organizations is that they give you a chance to compare notes and swap best practices with other companies, so you can get up to speed pretty quickly on what works and what doesn't," Norton says. "There's no sense in reinventing the wheel."
