SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--U.S. Secretary of Labor Martin J. Walsh recently recognized Anser Advisory’s Federal Division, Markon Solutions, as one of the 835 recipients of the 2022 HIRE Vets Medallion Award during a virtual award ceremony presented by the U.S. Department of Labor. Markon Solutions earned the platinum 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.
“It is a great honor for our firm to receive the HIRE Vets Platinum Medal from the Department of Labor,” said Krissy Goff, Executive Vice President of Corporate Operations at Anser Advisory and its Markon Solutions subsidiary. “Our veterans are a unique group of men and women who continue to bring a wealth of experience and immense value to our organization, the missions we support, and the communities we serve.”
Anser Advisory’s Global Head of Talent Acquisition, Sherif Wahby, noted, “Our expansion into new market sectors under the Anser Advisory brand creates even greater opportunities to partner with the veteran community. Anser Advisory’s national reach means we can hire more veterans and bring their expertise to preeminent clients and the mission-critical programs that need it most."
Markon Solutions, an Anser Advisory Company, joins 834 other companies from 49 states, plus the District of Columbia, who have shown a commitment to hiring veterans and 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 2022 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.
