"I recently attended a Military Hiring Conference sponsored by Lucas Group's Military Division in Atlanta, GA. In addition to traditional recruitment, Lucas Group specializes in placing transitioning military members into the civilian workforce. At this conference, I met with a select group of military members who made it past Lucas Group's rigorous inspection, based on Airgas hiring needs. They recruited, screened, interviewed and selected top military personnel and introduced them to Airgas for the assigned position. The Lucas Group Hiring Conferences should not be confused with job fairs. This hiring conference was a tightly structured, smartly engineered and carefully executed event. The conference was goal-driven to make the most of Airgas investment in time, talent and money. After the hiring conference, I thought this would be an excellent opportunity for Airgas to identify veterans and possibly 'exceed' the goal to hire 100 veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with a 12-month period."

"JMO's offer a company a great hire with unsurpassed leadership and potential. They are far better equipped to be successful, than their civilian counterparts. I look forward to every Lucas Group Conference, because I know I will be impressed with the "best" and my time is never wasted."

"We have worked with Lucas Group through two cycles within the last 6 months and couldn't be more pleased with the results. Lucas Group presented our company accurately and with enthusiasm. Being a small, emerging company among giants each time, our interview schedule was full with enthusiastic, highly qualified applicants. We discovered several world class candidates and gained agreement with 5 JMO's from those 2 conferences. When was the last time you found 5 leaders in the top10% of your talent pool with a two day investment?"
