November 8, 2024  – U.S. Acting Secretary of Labor Julie A. Su recognized Saliense Consulting as one of the 839 recipients of the 2024 HIRE Vets Medallion Award during a virtual award ceremony presented by U.S. Department of Labor. Saliense earned the 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.

“We are deeply grateful to receive the HIRE Vets Medallion Award for the third consecutive year, highlighting our dedication to recruiting veterans and welcoming them to our team,” said Albina Keetch, Saliense Associate Director of Talent Acquisition. “Veterans possess invaluable skills, leadership, and discipline that enhance our organization’s capabilities and strengthen our ability to serve our federal clients. We remain committed to actively seeking out and supporting these talented individuals as they transition to the civilian workforce.”

Saliense joins 838 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 2024 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. More than 1,600 employers have earned a HIRE Vets Medallion Award since 2019.
