LockLeed Logistics Announcement!
By Renée R. Roth
LockLeed International is joined by LockLeed Logistics as the newest addition to our family of companies dedicated to helping veterans and military personnel find employment. James Walker, a US Army veteran, leads our new division focused on placing veteran/military professionals in a variety of industries including supply chain, logistics, transportation, freight, manufacturing, distribution and technology.
We recognize that the military/veteran community has an expansive network in the supply chain, transportation and logistics industries. Based on feedback from our clients and from the veterans we serve, it made sense to add this new recruitment resource.
This new division augments our 360° strategy with three operating companies (LockLeed International, LockLeed Logistics and Talent Force) under the umbrella of Gemini Workforce Solutions. It serves to renew the foundation of our targeted approach to provide companies with the best candidates to fill their roles with veterans who have the skills to succeed.
Our clients will benefit from:
- Access to 220K+ military members transitioning out of service annually.
- Access to 2.9M active-duty military personnel.
- Access to 100+ military units in Minnesota; 20K currently serving.
- Access to 50K+ active candidates in our database.
- Access to military service members at installations across the globe.
- Unlimited postings on LockLeed’s job board with 20K+ international views monthly.
- Recruiting events with our partners, including DAV, MAC-V, VA and HireVets.
An additional benefit for companies: We provide the opportunity for you to market your company as a veteran-forward organization. For example, “We allocate XX% of our budget to hiring veterans!” This is a differentiator in the talent recruitment and retention process and highlights your desire to provide meaningful employment opportunities to those who have served our country.
Jim is an Army veteran where he was a supply specialist and made three deployments over 10 years. His civilian background includes 18 years in the freight forwarding industry with roles including Vice President of National Operations and we believe he will be a great resource to provide veterans who are qualified to fill your supply chain roles.
This new division will serve clients in the areas of:
- Third-Party Logistics
- Asset-based Trucking and Warehousing
- Freight Forwarding
- Import/Export
- Supply Chain Management
- Logistics Technology
- Freight Audit, Finance and Insurance
- Paratransit
- Drivers
Jim said, “My decision to join the company was based on the way they help veterans. There’s not much that veterans get when they leave the military. It makes no sense. So this is a way for me to give back and build on the success of LockLeed. John has a great team, and I look forward to working together to build on their success.” Join us in congratulating Jim and welcoming him to the LockLeed family.
