"The Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act of 2017 (HIRE Vets Act or the Act), requires the Secretary of Labor to establish a program, by rule, that recognizes employer efforts to recruit, employ, and retain veterans. Employer-applicants meeting criteria established in the rule will receive a “HIRE Vets Medallion Award.” As described in the Act, there are different awards for large employers (500-plus employees), medium employers (51-499 employees), and small employers (50 or fewer employees). Additionally, there are two award tiers: platinum and gold. For each award, the employer must satisfy a set of criteria. This dataset contains information from the application form completed by employers who applied to the HIRE Veterans Medallion Program. Information collected includes: company identifier, personal identifier, hiring/retention statistics and program information in application process from businesses who wish to be recognized for outstanding veteran hiring/retention. Under the Act, VETS will: 1. Solicit applications No later than January 31; and 2. Stop accepting applications on April 30."
