Every tier starts the same way: your plan, built against your actual company. Starter and Pro cancel anytime — no contracts, no setup fees. Not sure which fits? Run the free scan and it will tell you.
One retained search on a $90,000 supervisor runs $22,500 to $27,000 and buys one hire. Command builds the channel that keeps producing them, and the MOU stays in your company's name.
Start with the $7,500 Diagnostic. It credits in full toward Command within 90 days, and most leaders use it to get the budget approved.
Your full plan the day you subscribe · first outreach emails drafted and sent in week one · SkillBridge application prepped for the next window (opens October 1) · the Form 8850 tax-credit habit running from your first hire. On Pro, your first consult with Dean is on the calendar within 24 hours.
One contingency recruiter placement runs $13,000 to $16,250. One retained search on a $90,000 supervisor runs $22,500 to $27,000 and buys one hire; a Command engagement runs from $15,000 and builds the channel you keep. Twelve months of Pro is $5,988; twelve months of Starter is $2,388. The Work Opportunity Tax Credit adds up to $9,600 per qualified veteran hire on top. And unlike a recruiter fee, the channels this builds — SkillBridge, PaYS, ESGR — belong to you when the year is over.
Rules change, MOUs expire, registries drift, and every month there's a next move. The subscription is the operation running: policy checked daily, your state's registry re-verified on a schedule, the briefing that tells you what changed, and the command center writing your week. Cancel it and you keep everything it built — the charter, the relationships, the playbooks. What stops is the current. And cancelling is one click from your Stripe receipt or one email to Dean — no call, no fee.
They sell you access to candidates. This builds the machine that sources, translates, and keeps them — and you own it. With a recruiter, the candidate relationship and the sourcing channel belong to the recruiter. Here, the SkillBridge MOU, the PaYS partnership, and the ESGR relationship are signed in your company's name.
The Diagnostic tells you exactly what to build and what it returns, in three weeks, for a fixed $7,500. Command builds it. If you start with the Diagnostic and move to Command inside 90 days, the full $7,500 comes off the engagement. Most leaders use it to get the budget approved.
It is if it screens people. These tools advise on the program and translate experience — they never screen, score, or reject candidates. A qualified person at your company makes every hiring decision, which is the line that keeps you clear of automated-decision risk.
Scans read only your public site. Service-record translation runs on the document you provide, for that translation, and the tools never build candidate profiles or feed anything into screening. Details are in privacy and data handling.

The plan unlocks the moment payment clears: the command center writes your first week, every tool opens, and your first briefing lands within the month. On Pro, Dean reaches out within 24 hours to set your first consult — you leave that call with your first two moves assigned and dated.
Yes. Card checkout is instant; if procurement needs an invoice, annual billing, or a W-9, email dean@veteranbridgesolutions.com and it's handled the same day.
Then Starter pays for itself with a single hire: one qualified veteran hire can carry up to $9,600 in federal tax credit — four years of Starter — before you count the value of the hire itself.
Neither. It runs upstream of your ATS — the plan, the channels, and the translations feed candidates into whatever you already run. Nothing installs, nothing integrates, no security review to schedule.
One subscription covers your company — share it with whoever owns hiring. Plans include more monthly tool runs than most teams use; if you're running hotter than that, Dean will reach out about the right tier.
Not what you expected in the first 30 days? One email to Dean, full refund — and you keep the plan it built. After that, cancel anytime in one click from your Stripe receipt. Either way, the charter, the relationships, and the playbooks stay yours.
