Unsure of your Military Friendly® Status?
Explore your recruiting goals, walk through the membership levels, and select the one that fits.
Join as a member. Meet your benefits, the people behind them, and your plan for the year.
Companies who earn the Military Friendly® Designation gain instant credibility with the military community.
Align your brand and programs to keep mission‑ready hires longer.
Reach qualified talent pools where veterans are actively searching.
Targeted magazine distribution, virtual events, and tools that convert.
Candidates judge your company by your brand and by their experience with your HR staff, who may not understand how military experience or language translates to your roles. Member privileges close that gap.
Most transitioners have been in uniform since 18. They are brimming with talent but lack a civilian network, and they look for employers that are recognized and trusted before they apply.
Name recognition is the long-term anchor. You still need to engage the community during key hiring cycles, seasonal spikes, and immediate needs.
Every approved employer starts with Basic. Higher tiers unlock more visibility, tools, and support across three pillars.

Our ratings and designations will continue to be a free assessment for military recruiting programs, but now organizations can choose from multiple membership tiers for expanded benefits.
Yes. The survey remains free for all participating organizations and continues to be the foundation of our methodology. It powers:
If you’ve completed the Military Friendly® Survey and earned a designation or rating, you are automatically enrolled in the Free Membership Tier (Basic). This includes:
Under the new model’s Basic (Free) Membership Tier
Under Full (Paid) Membership Tiers (Levels 2–5)
These changes ensure authenticity, strengthen credibility, and drive veteran and spouse traffic to your verified profile.
They are paid tiers that offer expanded benefits, which may include:
The higher the level, the more benefits are unlocked. You can upgrade at any time.
There are six total tiers:
Free Tier: Access to our online support library
Paid Tiers: Options include monthly office hours, direct 1:1 support, and white-glove onboarding to ensure you maximize your membership benefits
Free tier = digital only with mandated link-back to Viqtory assets
Paid tiers (1–5) = digital + print, nonCommercial expanded usage rights
Paid membership levels can include:
Many of these opportunities are also avaible to Basic Members but must be purchased a la carte.
No. If you’ve completed the survey and earned a designation, your Basic Membership is free and includes your profile listing. However, paid tiers provide far greater visibility, marketing reach, and branding rights.
The membership model will be in full effect starting September 2.
If you are already designated, you will be placed in the Free Tier automatically.
Choose your path.
