Colonel Ken Huxley (USAF, Retired) Promoted to Vice President of Talent Acquisition

Colonel Huxley joined S³ in January 2007 after 26 years of military service, and successfully implementing and managing the military veteran recruiting program for a Fortune 200 financial services company. Since the inception of the Central Sourcing Team in 2013, the team has helped deliver 3,138 consultants and overhead staff to external and internal customers. Nearly 25% have gone on to other roles within the company with the remaining singularly focused on delivery. 

Col. Huxley is a nationally recognized expert on Military Veterans and has been featured in Staffing Industry Analyst Staffing Stream and Hiring our Heroes. His discussions stem from his own experiences as a veteran as well as his success with S3 in developing veteran talent. Col. Huxley's topics reflect national statistics in relation to veteran hiring and frequently discuss how companies can better gather and harness their veteran talent. S3's Central Sourcing Team's success speaks to his expertise at recruiting, developing, and retaining veterans.

For several years now, S3 has made it a top priority to seek out veterans. S3 founder and CEO Cindy Pasky knows how invaluable veterans can be to a team saying, "We know that military veterans and their spouses are among the best and brightest thinkers; they are quick learners, adapt easily, build solid relationships, and have strong ethics."

In addition, Col. Huxley has recently aided in expanding S3's veterans reach to its International branches in Lithuania and the Baltics. In December, he traveled to Vilnius to present S3's veteran hiring initiative to Military Veterans Employment Initiative (MVEI) members, as well as government officials. It was not long after that S3International hired its first Lithuanian veteran to join the special service delivery team. In addition, Huxley spoke in front of Lithuanian Parliament in late April to address the benefits of hiring military veterans.

Col. Huxley's tremendous efforts have elevated S3 into a greater tier of efficiency and effectiveness. His new position, coupled with his perspective and ideas, will allow him to have his hands on even more S3 processes, undoubtedly stimulating further success in his wake.
