You’ve led people through chaos, solved problems under pressure and delivered results when failure wasn’t an option. Then you take off the uniform, build a résumé and suddenly you’re “not a fit.”
That disconnect isn’t on you—it’s on a civilian hiring system that hasn’t learned how to read your story.
But there’s good news: plenty of employers do get it. They’re not guessing what your experience means; they’ve built entire programs around hiring Veterans because they’ve seen what happens when military talent joins their teams. Military Friendly® helps you find those employers—fast.
Civilian Employers Don’t Always Understand the Military—But the Right Ones Don’t Need a Translator
Military Friendly® has spent years building the original standard for identifying employers who understand what military experience brings to the table.
These companies aren’t checking boxes—they’re tracking performance. They measure retention, promotion rates and satisfaction among Veterans because it makes business sense. According to our data, certified Military Friendly® Employers are more likely to retain Veteran employees beyond their first year compared to non-certified companies.
That’s not charity. That’s smart leadership.
You Don’t Need to “Prove Yourself” Again—You Just Need to Be Seen
Most Veterans don’t need another “transition workshop.” What they need is connection—to people and employers who already value what they bring.
That’s why Military Friendly® built the Military Friendly® Talent Exchange (MFTX)—a network that connects transitioning service members, Veterans and military spouses directly to employers who are ready to hire.
Through the Virtual Job Fairs (VJFs) and Get Hired Workshops (GHW) events, you can go straight to the source—organizations that have already invested in recruiting and developing military talent. You don’t have to translate your rank or justify your experience. You just show up, and they already know your worth.
The Most Tested Talent in the World Deserves the Most Trusted Standard
There’s a reason we call military talent “the most tested in the world.” You’ve been trained to lead, adapt and execute under pressure. Those same skills power innovation, safety and teamwork in the civilian world.
Military Friendly® exists to make sure those strengths don’t get lost in translation. Every certified employer meets one standard—ours. It’s not about titles or tokens; it’s about measurable commitment to hiring, retaining and advancing Veterans in meaningful roles.
One Mission. One Standard.
Transition doesn’t end when you hang up the uniform. It ends when you find a place where your experience is valued, your leadership is trusted and your next mission begins.
Military Friendly® connects you to employers who understand that hiring Veterans isn’t just patriotic—it’s profitable, practical and powerful.
