New campaign launched to attract ex-defence members

We’ve launched a striking new recruitment campaign to encourage more veterans to join us.

Our collective vision across the Hancock Prospecting Group of companies is to create new pathways and increased employment opportunities for ex-defence members (EDM).

We know we already have veterans in every part of the business. 

We now want to use this as a springboard to become the first point of call for others wishing to enter the mining and agricultural industries.

James Hepworth, Principal Military Sponsorship, said: “Our Group Executive Chairman, Mrs Rinehart AO, is passionate about creating employment opportunities for ex-defence members and supporting them during their employment.

“The Hancock Prospecting Group of companies are built on good Australian values where loyalty and performance are rewarded.

“We want veterans and ex-military personnel to feel valued and preferentially treated when they approach us and that we create a real sense of recognition of military service to the country for which they served which for the majority will be Australia.”

This week you will start to see our new promotional video appear on social media.

We encourage you to share this with your family, friends, and professional networks to help us spread the word about the pathways and employment opportunities we have available.

Through a targeted program, our aim is to attract EDM, make them feel welcome and included, and support them to contribute and reach their full potential.

This will enhance diversity across our businesses, improve outcomes, and address current skills and labour shortages.

Importantly, it also allows us to acknowledge and recognise the service that EDM have provided to our nation.
