A snapshot of July 2024 Talent Acquisition and Recruiting Activity.
At Pearl Interactive Network, the purpose of Talent Acquisition and Recruiting is to identify and attract individuals who can contribute to the company’s mission of delivering high-touch, white-glove customer service experiences. We focus on hiring from economically challenged areas, people with disabilities, military spouses, and veterans, reflecting our commitment to social impact and diversity. Our Talent Acquisition team works tirelessly to source, interview, and select candidates who align with Pearl’s values of customer satisfaction, teamwork, and quality service, ensuring that the company continues to provide exceptional service to its clients and community. We communicate our brand message to potential candidates through a multifaceted approach that includes our website, social media, and community outreach.

WFD recognizes Purple Heart Day: Mission of the Military Order of the Purple Heart
Purple Heart Day was observed first in 2014 and has been celebrated yearly on August 7th. It is a day to allow Americans to honor and remember those who bravely served our country, suffered injuries, or killed while serving. These individuals are adorned with the Purple Heart in the name of the President. The day is usually celebrated by the military in America, which organize memorials and commemoration meetings for those who have died in combat as ceremonies to honor veterans and wounded soldiers fighting against the enemy.
The mission of the Military Order of the Purple Heart is to foster an environment of goodwill and camaraderie among combat wounded veterans, promote patriotism, support necessary legislative initiatives, and most importantly, provide service to all veterans and their families. Members are Combat Wounded Veterans dedicated to our country and our veteran community who endeavor to do better for each other and by each other always. Chartered by Congress for combat wounded Veterans. The Purple Heart is composed of military men and women who received the Purple Heart Medal for wounds suffered in combat or by an act of international terrorism. Although membership is restricted to the combat wounded, they support all veterans and their families with a myriad of nation-wide programs by Chapters and National Service Officers.
