Saliense Receives 2021 HIRE Vets Medallion Award from the U.S. Department of Labor

S. Secretary of Labor Martin J. Walsh recognized Saliense 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.

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.

“Our company and clients benefit greatly from the leadership, strategic thinking and team approach exemplified by our veteran colleagues,” said Nikita Singh, Saliense president and CEO. “More than 200,000 military members transition to civilian life each year, and we appreciate what a high-quality talent pool they represent. We are honored to have Saliense recognized as an organization committed to recruiting, hiring, and retaining veterans.”

Saliense 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. More than 1,400 employers have earned a HIRE Vets Medallion Award since 2018.
