10 Companies Known for Hiring and Supporting Veterans

The short version

These ten large employers run documented veteran hiring and support programs. Think recruiters who speak military, skills translators, mentorship, veteran employee groups, and often a SkillBridge pipeline. This is a starting roster, not a ranking, and not an endorsement. Confirm each program and any open role before you count on it.

How to use this list

These employers are vetted, not ranked. Inclusion is not an endorsement, and it does not mean a job is waiting for you. Programs, points of contact, and eligibility can change, so confirm current details on each company's own veteran careers page before you apply.

What a strong veteran program looks like

Answer first: look for four things. A dedicated veteran careers page, a military skills translator, a veteran employee resource group, and a SkillBridge or fellowship pipeline. When a company runs all four, your record works for you. Many firms below also hold a HIRE Vets Medallion from the Department of Labor, the federal award for veteran hiring and retention. Build your LinkedIn profile before you apply so recruiters can find you.

FAQ

Does a veteran program mean I am hired?

No. These programs can open doors, translate your skills, and connect you with recruiters, but you still compete for the role. Treat every step like a job, not a favor.

What is the HIRE Vets Medallion?

It is a voluntary award from the U.S. Department of Labor that recognizes employers for veteran hiring and retention. It is a useful signal, not a promise about any single job.

What is a skills translator?

A tool that maps your military job to civilian roles at the company. Run it early so you can target the right openings and speak the employer's language on your resume.

Can military spouses use these programs?

Often yes. Many of these employers hire spouses through the same military programs and dedicated spouse initiatives. Check each careers page for current details.

How does SkillBridge fit in?

Several of these companies host DoD SkillBridge internships during your last 180 days of service. See our guide to SkillBridge for how to line one up.

Should I only apply to companies on this list?

No. This is a sample of employers with recognized programs, not a complete list. Nonprofits and smaller firms hire veterans too. See our roundup of nonprofit job resources.
