FOR job seekers
Tour of Duty Jobs is where you find companies (jobs coming soon) who have adopted the framework laid out in The Alliance, a book written by co-authors and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman. The tour of duty, a term borrowed from the military, is an explicit mission that the company is looking for you to take on. By the end of a tour, the company is transformed through your performance, and you are transformed through accomplishing something challenging and impactful to the business.
“We believe that Tour of Duty Jobs reinforces where the market for talent is headed. The best candidates seek opportunities to complete a mission objective that advances their careers. They seek employers who understand their way of thinking, and who will be allies.”
