Medix partners with the Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP) and commits to recruiting, hiring, promoting and retaining military spouses
May 12, 2022 (Chicago, IL) – Medix, a national organization specialized in workforce solutions and recruiting skilled personnel for clients in the healthcare, life sciences, engineering and technology industries, is proud to announce its partnership with the Department of Defense Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP). Through this distinguished partnership, Medix is committed to recruiting, hiring, promoting, and retaining this unique and talented group of professionals.
“The MSEP gives us priority access to the valuable talent pool of military spouses. This group is skilled, diverse, and motivated, with a strong work ethic,” said Medix President & CEO Andrew Limouris. “Companies that hire military spouses are tapping into a strategic segment of the workforce. Personally, we are so proud to partner with this program and continue our mission to positively impact lives – of our talent, our clients and our employees.”
“The Department of Defense strives to increase career opportunities for military spouses by partnering with organizations such as Medix that offer a variety of career options, portability, and salaries equivalent to their civilian counterparts,” said Patricia Barron, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy.
The MSEP partnership provides Medix with unlimited access to valuable talent, solutions for connecting with spouses and uploading job postings, and networking opportunities with the Department of Defense and other industry-leading partners. In turn, Medix will increase employment opportunities for military spouses and, when possible, maintain those opportunities as they relocate. In addition, Medix strives to provide military spouses who perform well with career advancement.
“MSEP estimates that military spouses face a 24% unemployment rate and a 25% wage gap compared to their civilian counterparts. We are honored to be one of more than 500 MSEP partners committed to improving those statistics by helping military spouses find and maintain rewarding careers with quality employers,” Limouris said.
