U.S. Secretary of Labor Martin J. Walsh recognized RELYANT Global, LLC as one of the 849 recipients of the 2021 HIRE Vets Medallion Award during a virtual award ceremony presented by U.S. Department of Labor. RELYANT earned the [platinum/gold] award after applying earlier this year. The Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act (HIRE Vets Act) Medallion Program is the only federal award program that recognizes employers who successfully recruit, hire, and retain veterans. “RELYANT Global is owned and operated by honorably discharged, former servicemen, and we take immense pride in our ability to attract and employ former service men and women today. Hiring individuals that have a deep sense of honor, duty and loyalty is a large part of RELYANTs success,” explained Alix King, Chief Strategy Officer.
RELYANT joins 848 other companies from 49 states, plus the District of Columbia, who have shown a commitment to hiring veterans, but also ensuring that they have a long-term career and growth plan that uses the diverse skills they acquired through their military service. Recipients of the 2021 HIRE Vets Medallion Award meet rigorous employment and veteran integration assistance criteria, including veteran hiring and retention percentages; availability of veteran-specific resources; leadership programming for veterans; dedicated human resource efforts; pay compensation and tuition assistance programs for veterans.
