Performance Contractors Inc. announced today that it has earned the 2014 Military Friendly Employer® title by Victory Media, the premier resource for transitioning service members and spouses seeking civilian employment.

Companies competed for the elite Military Friendly Employer ® title via a data-driven survey of over 5,000 companies independently tested by Ernst & Young LLP. Criteria included a benchmark score across key programs and policies such as the strength of company military recruiting efforts, the percentage of new hires with prior military service, retention programs, and company policies on National Guard and Reserve service.

Performance Contractors Inc. aggressively seeks to hire military talent and has found that hiring from the military community is a strategic competitive advantage. “Employing veterans, current National Guard and Reserve is a great match for us,” reports David Theriot, director of Military Workforce Development for Performance. “We value the skills and qualities developed through military training and experiences, and realize what an asset they are to our team” Theriot added.

Performance Contractors Inc. will be showcased, along with other 2014 Military Friendly Employers® in the December edition of G.I. Jobs magazine and online at MilitaryFriendly.com. Using the priority data engine on MilitaryFriendly.com, job seekers are able to view prospective employer profiles, as well as design their own custom lists according to their preferences. Custom, user-directed lists can then be saved and shared socially, allowing each job seeker to find their unique #1 Military Friendly Employer®.

“The 2014 Military Friendly Employers® represent the preeminent tier of companies with strong military recruitment programs and meaningful job opportunities for transitioning service members and spouses seeking civilian employment,” said Sean Collins, Vice President for Victory Media and a nine-year Navy veteran. “Our Military Friendly Employers® constitute the group of companies actually moving the needle and hiring from the military community. The 2014 Military Friendly Employers reported hiring over 117,000 service members and spouses over the last 12 months, representing an average of 14 percent of total new hires.”
