About Megan Hurdle-Derring

With over five years of specialized experience in recruiting veterans and transitioning military personnel, Megan has successfully guided more than 400 veterans toward their next career opportunities. Driven by a deep respect for those who have served, her passion for veteran recruiting stems from firsthand experience. Growing up in a Navy town, she witnessed skilled service members struggle to transition to civilian careers, often being underutilized and underpaid due to difficulty of translating military experience into corporate value. As a former military spouse, she understands the unique challenges of this transition. While she never wore the uniform herself, she sees this work as her way of giving back to those who have. Helping veterans find meaningful, well-matched careers isn\'t just a job for her - it\'s a mission. Megan takes pride in offering personalized support to candidates, helping them navigate the hiring process with confidence. She excels at translating military experience into civilian terminology, empowering veterans to strategically position themselves for success in their job searches. For employers, she provides valuable insights into military backgrounds, highlighting the leadership, adaptability, and problem-solving skills that veterans possess. Megan is a great relationship builder. Megan believes that every veteran deserves the opportunity to excel in their next professional chapter. She invites veterans and employers alike to connect with her for support, collaboration, and to explore the unique strengths that veterans bring to the workforce.
