<p>This is a remote position.</p> <p><b><b>50 Veterans. Austin. August. Inside the Room Where the Next Decade of Data Center Hiring Happens.</b><br></b></p> <p><b>Veteran Hiring Solutions (VHS) is selecting 50 transitioning and recently separated veterans to attend the Data Center Anti-Conference (DCAC) in Austin, Texas, August 24-26, 2026. Travel, lodging, and ground transportation are covered. There is no cost to the veteran.</b><br></p> <p>This is not a career fair. This is access.<br></p> <p><br></p> <p><b><b>The Opportunity</b><br></b></p> <p>You have submitted applications and watched them disappear. You have rewritten your resume four times to fit a job description that was probably written by someone who has never met a veteran. You have been told to network without being told where the network actually meets.<br></p> <p>The data center industry is the front line of the AI era. The companies inside DCAC are building the physical infrastructure that powers everything everyone else is talking about. They are hiring at every level. They are short on disciplined, mission-driven people who can lead in high-stakes operating environments.<br></p> <p>That is most of you.<br></p> <p>VHS partnered with DCAC to put 50 veterans in that room. Not in the back. In the room.<br></p> <p><br></p> <p><b><b>What You Get</b><br></b></p> <ul> <li>Round-trip flights to Austin<br></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Hotel for the duration of the conference<br></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Ground transportation<br></li> </ul> <ul> <li>A guided tour of an operating data center facility, so you walk into conversations understanding what the industry actually builds<br></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Full DCAC access alongside <b>700+ hand-selected companies:</b> operators, developers, builders, financiers, and infrastructure leaders shaping the industry<br></li> </ul> <ul> <li>VHS pre-conference preparation: how to present what you actually did in uniform in language a hiring leader recognizes, how to work a room of executives without performing, and how to follow up in a way that turns a handshake into a hire<br><br></li> </ul> <p>You arrive prepared. You leave with relationships. You follow up with a recruiting firm that has already placed over 25,000 veterans and will work the back end with you.<br></p> #LI-BN1 <br> <h3>Requirements</h3> <p><b><b>Who Should Apply</b><br></b></p> <ul> <li>Currently serving, transitioning out before the end of the year<br></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Recently separated and actively looking for the next chapter<br></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Any branch, any rank, any MOS, rating, or AFSC<br></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Technical background welcome. Non-technical background equally welcome. The industry needs operators, leaders, program managers, schedulers, security professionals, logisticians, electricians, HVAC technicians, project managers, and people who can run a shift the way you ran a watch<br></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Available to travel to Austin August 24-26, 2026<br></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Geographically flexible and open to relocating for the right opportunity. Data centers are built where the power, land, and fiber are. That means roles in Northern Virginia, Phoenix, Dallas, Columbus, Atlanta, the Pacific Northwest, and dozens of other markets. Austin is the room. The job will be where the job is<br></li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p>You do not need to know what a hyperscaler is. You do not need to have ever set foot in a data center. You need to be ready to show up, do the work, and represent.<br></p> <br> <br> <h3>Benefits</h3> <p><b><b>Why VHS</b><br></b></p> <p>VHS is a Recruiting 5.0 firm built to fight algorithmic hiring. We do not screen veterans with software that filters them out. We have a conversation. We assess against a real standard. We put humans in front of hiring leaders. We hold 97 percent retention at year one because both sides walk into the interview already calibrated to each other.<br></p> <p>The resume was invented to help veterans get hired. The system filtering it now does the opposite. We were built to fix that.<br></p> <p><i><u>DCAC is selective by design. So is this</u></i><i><u> </u></i><i><u>program.</u></i><br></p> <br> <br>
