Fastport Acquires Semper Forward to Expand Military Hiring and Workforce Development

We’re proud to share that Fastport has acquired Semper Forward, a veteran-owned organization known for helping employers build connections with veterans and military spouses. Now operating as a division of Fastport, Semper Forward brings its personalized approach to our growing platform. Moving forward, this will enhance how we serve the community and expand our ability to support even more military transitions into civilian careers.

What does Semper Forward bring to Fastport’s mission?

This acquisition means more opportunities, tools, and connections for veterans and the employers who want to hire them. We’re combining our job-matching technology with Semper Forward’s proven concierge services. This allows us to scale up without losing what matters most: the relationships, trust, and shared commitment to giving back to those who have served. Together, we’ll support a wider range of industries, government agencies, and organizations that are eager to welcome veteran and military spouse talent into their workforces.

How will this benefit veterans, military spouses, and employers?

“This transaction enables us to scale our business more efficiently while growing faster to support an expanding number of job-seekers in the military community,” said Bill McLennan, Fastport CEO. “It also helps more employers access the unique value Veterans and military spouses bring to the workforce.”

Steven Janke, Founder of Semper Forward, shared, “We’re excited to become part of the Fastport family. This will allow us to continue providing our concierge-style support while offering even more resources to both our job-seekers and employer partners.”

What’s next for Semper Forward and its partners?

Semper Forward will retain its name and continue operating under its existing structure, ensuring continuity for its clients and partners. Together, we’ll continue building bridges between military talent and the civilian workforce by offering personalized guidance, innovative outreach, and technology-powered solutions. We’re honored to advance our mission with the addition of Semper Forward to the Fastport team.
