Executives of several military job board companies are calling for an investigation and congressional hearings into a contract awarded for a new veterans job board that is a joint effort between the departments of Defense, Labor and Veterans Affairs.
“At a time when defense dollars are tight, why is DoD launching a site that competes using tax dollars with successful private-sector job boards that provide the same service at no cost to the government or to the service members?” asked the letter, signed by the presidents of Vetjobs.com, MilitaryHire.com and CorporateGray.com.
The letter was sent June 20 to the House and Senate committees that deal with veterans issues.
The Pentagon’s TurboTAP.org is run by Military Advantage, a subsidiary of Monster.com.
