How We Determine Which Employers Are Most Military Friendly
Our rankings of the Top 100 Military Friendly Employers® are based on a survey which assesses a company’s long-term commitment to hiring former military, recruiting and hiring efforts and results, retention efforts policies for Reserve/Guard members called to active duty, and the presence of special recruitment military programs.
Corporate America has a voracious appetite for hiring military. The pool of companies eligible for our list is approximately 5,000 (minimum of $500 million in annual revenues). Only 2 percent made the list.
- Government, agencies, non-profits and universities do not qualify.
