Online Job Search Site for Veterans Hits Milestone

Editor's note: The following is a news release from RallyPoint.

RallyPoint, an online professional network that empowers military members to take greater control over their own careers, has surged past 10,000 members in recent weeks, becoming the fastest-growing online professional network for U.S. Service Members at duty locations around the globe.

Members are currently serving in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard, and representing all ranks. The average member is inviting 36 of his military friends to join. The site's increasing popularity is due to its unique focus on the inside of the military, taking into account the military's highly complex structure, credentials, command relationships, and language.

In fact, RallyPoint has visually mapped the entire organizational structure of the Department of Defense (DoD) down to the lowest unit levels. The platform's technology then layers on top of that a user's existing graph of relationships into the deepest reaches of the DoD. This is the most comprehensive, fully integrated task org of the DoD in existence.

Further, in response to the needs of its fast-growing user base, RallyPoint today also unveiled a new "Career Corner" feature that gives service members a simple, streamlined way to compare their best potential military

assignments with their best civilian opportunities - all done in private. It uses a first-of-its-kind military assignment search engine where members can see when specific types of assignments will be available in the future, based on rank, unit, specialization, location, and shared relationships.

This lets members connect with leaders and their peers in those units, and leverage those relationships to pursue the assignments they want.

"Providing transparency into career opportunities is highly desired by members of the military," says RallyPoint CEO Yinon Weiss. "By providing every service member his best options possible, RallyPoint helps drive

career fulfillment and helps the military retain its best people by offering them the opportunities that are best aligned with their skills and interests."

RallyPoint was created by Iraq War veterans who both saw and experienced the need for a military-focused networking platform, one that addresses the specific challenges facing service members during their military careers.

"Relationships can mean everything in the military.  They create valuable mentorship, professional development, and very often lead to opportunities that best serve both the military and the service member," says Weiss.  "I think RallyPoint is exciting for our members because they can visually understand where their relationships can take them across the military. This can result in more autonomy and more transparency, which is extremely

important to our service members."

RallyPoint is free for Active Duty, National Guard, Reserve, and pre-commission personnel. With just a few clicks, military personnel can sign up and begin discovering where their relationships across the DoD can take them. Service members can visit www.RallyPoint.com to get started.
