Alpharetta, GA (PRWEB) July 15, 2015 -- Hire Heroes USA, a 501c(3) national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping veterans transform their military service into civilian success, has confirmed a total of 1,510 veterans hired in the first half of 2015. Their current average weekly rate of 54 confirmed veteran hires translates to a conversion rate of 44% from “helped” to “hired”.
With a team of dedicated veteran transition specialists—many of whom are veterans themselves—in seven locations across the country, Hire Heroes USA assists over 200 transitioning service members, veterans and spouses each week. Hire Heroes USA empowers transitioning service members, veterans, and their spouses by building the confidence and skills necessary to secure civilian employment through free, individualized programs delivered via online/telephone career coaching and transition workshops.

Brian Stann, CEO of Hire Heroes USA and decorated combat Marine, credits the organization’s success to the passion and commitment of the entire team—employees, partners and supporters—to serving veterans.
“This is a personal mission for our team. We collectively strive for excellence not only because the veterans we serve deserve it, but also because we recognize that the successful transition to civilian employment for our veterans is vital to national security and economic health.”
Recognized as a best-in-class veteran service organization by the USO, Call of Duty Endowment and the George W. Bush Institute, Hire Heroes USA continues to refine their process. “Our robust service delivery metrics and rigorous performance management system contributed to a 25% reduction in the cost per veteran hire in FY 2014,” says Nathan Smith, Hire Heroes USA COO, also a combat Marine.
