Answer 10 Questions To Become A Vetted Employer

Earn and use our seal of approval

The Vetted Employer badge shows your recruits and customers that your organization is a top veteran employer, and once you earn it, you are free to use it however you like, without costs or restrictions — digital or print, internal or external

No fees or charges of any kind — really!

Most supposedly “free” employer awards programs come with hidden charges: membership costs, application fees, sponsorships, licensing fees. Our program is actually free of charge, start to finish

Quick and easy survey

You don’t have to answer hundred of questions or go through dozens of pages to participate — our survey asks only the most important questions and can easily be completed in one sitting

Open to organizations of all types

The evaluation is balanced to fairly evaluate all kinds of employers and industries, from small and mid-size companies to the world’s largest corporations, as well as nonprofits, government agencies and departments (including law enforcement) and even universities

What Does It Take To Be A Vetted Employer?

The Vetted Checkup Survey evaluates the most important policies, practices, and outcomes for employing veterans and the military-connected community. While we understand that every employer is different and have designed the evaluation to be flexible, the factors we are looking for include:

  • Veteran-focused recruiting efforts
  • Strong veteran hiring and internal promotion rates
  • Dedicated veteran recruiting/support personnel
  • Military Employee Resource Group (ERGs/BRGs)
  • Military-specific mentorship and training programs
  • Policies & programs supporting Guard/Reserve members and military spouses
