West Chester, Ohio – ClarkDietrich Building Systems announced that it has earned the 2018 Military Friendly® Top 10 Employer, Military Friendly® Spouse Employer and Military Friendly® Brand Award designations by Victory Media. First published in 2003, Military Friendly® Employers is the most comprehensive, powerful resource for veterans today. Each year, the list of Military Friendly® Employers is provided to service members and their families, helping them discover the best post-military career opportunities available.
Companies and organizations earning the Military Friendly ® Employer designation were evaluated using three data sources in the scoring 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 Applicant, New Hire Retention, Employee Turnover, and Promotion & Advancement of veterans and military employees.
ClarkDietrich is committed to hiring military talent, knowing first-hand that recruiting military spouses is not only the “right thing to do,” but the right thing for business. “At ClarkDietrich, we open our arms to people with all backgrounds, including those who come from the military, knowing that our company will benefit from the expertise, drive and discipline they bring to our company,” said Jim Collins, president of ClarkDietrich.
“Companies that have earned this designation have exceptionally strong hiring programs and 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.”
ClarkDietrich will be showcased along with other 2018 Military Friendly® Employers in the December issue of G.I. Jobs ® magazine, the January 2018 issue of Military Spouse Magazine, and on MilitaryFriendly.com.
