Major Challenges faced by Associated Veterans

As a CEO of a small company with a large company mentality, “I tend to put into motion new hires that I am anticipating we can afford, before we can afford them. I know what I want, but the budget doesn’t always support that. Therefore, being patient and hiring when I can afford to is my biggest challenge”, Antonio asserts
Prime Attributes to Keep on Moving the Organization
Associated Veterans specializes in helping government leadership turn their vision into a successful reality by providing them with highly qualified and experienced resources that possess the relevant skills, knowledge, and experience needed to develop and execute solutions in support of their business goals and needs.
Their primary customer is the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) and as with every agency they work in, they want to hire only the best. The company looks for Veterans and folks who have Veterans in their families. They also find that those people see the work the organization does at the VA with a different lens. It means more to them because they are affected by the outcome, more so than someone who does not receive VA benefits.
