Hyland Named a 2018 Military Friendly® Employer by Victory Media

Hyland has earned Victory Media’s 2018 Military Friendly​​ Employer designation for its exceptional recruiting initiatives and commitment to connect service members, veterans and spouses with meaningful careers. First published in 2003, the Military Friendly Employers list is the most comprehensive and powerful resource for veterans seeking new career opportunities in corporate work environments.

“Hyland places a high priority on recruiting and retaining the best talent, including individuals with military service backgrounds,” said Bill Priemer, president and CEO at Hyland. “Their steadfast work ethic directly aligns with the vision and values that have made Hyland a leader in the content services industry.”

To help support veterans in their professional and personal growth, Hyland has implemented multiple programs, including a Veterans Employee Resource Group, which currently has more than 80 members and provides networking, professional development and community outreach opportunities for ongoing education and success within a corporate environment.

“Companies​ ​that​ ​have​ ​earned​ the Military Friendly Employer​ ​designation​ ​have​ ​exceptionally​ ​strong​ ​hiring​ ​programs, creating meaningful​ ​jobs​ ​for​ ​transitioning​ ​service​ ​members,​ ​veterans​ ​and​ ​spouses,”​ ​said​ ​Daniel​ ​Nichols,​ ​chief product​ ​officer​ ​at​ ​Victory​ ​Media.​ ​“Our​ ​Military​ ​Friendly​​​ ​Employers​ ​have​ ​moved​ ​beyond​ ​answering ‘why​ ​hire​ ​military?’​ ​They​ ​are​ ​truly​ ​aligning​ ​their​ ​jobs​ ​and​ ​recruiting​ ​efforts​ ​with​ ​Military​ ​Friendly​ Schools​ ​to​ ​translate​ ​military​ ​competencies​ ​into​ ​civilian​ ​careers.”

Organizations earning the Military Friendly Employer designation were evaluated using three data sources within Victory Media’s scouring methodology: publicly​ ​available​ ​data​ ​from​ ​federal​ ​agencies;​ ​personal opinion​ ​data​ ​from​ ​veteran​ ​employees;​ ​and​ ​proprietary​ ​Military​ ​Friendly​ ​survey​ ​data​ ​from​ ​participating organizations.​ ​More​ ​than​ ​200​ ​companies​ ​participated​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Military​ ​Friendly​​​ ​Employers​ ​portion​ ​of​ ​the 2018​ ​Military​ ​Friendly​​​ ​Companies​ ​survey. Ratings​ ​methodology,​ ​criteria,​ ​and​ ​weightings​ ​were​ ​determined​ ​by​ ​Victory​ ​Media​, ​with​ ​input​ ​from​ ​the Military​ ​Friendly​ ​​Advisory​ ​Council​ ​of​ ​independent​ ​leaders​ ​in​ ​the​ ​higher​ ​education​ ​and​ ​military​ ​recruitment community.​ ​Final​ ​ratings​ ​were​ ​determined​ ​by​ ​combining​ ​an​ ​organization’s​ ​survey​ ​score​ ​with​ ​an assessment​ ​of​ ​the​ ​organization’s​ ​ability​ ​to​ ​meet​ ​thresholds​ ​for​ ​applicants,​ ​new​ ​hire​ ​retention,​ ​employee turnover​ ​and​ ​promotion​ ​and​ ​​advancement​ ​of​ ​veterans​ ​and​ ​military​ ​employees.
