U.S. Veterans Magazine polled hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies for this year's Best of the Best evaluations
Through AlliedBarton's military hiring program, the company hired more than 5,000 veterans and reservists in 2013

AlliedBarton Security Services, the industry's premier provider of highly trained security personnel, is proud to be featured as a top veteran-friendly company by U.S. Veterans Magazine for the second year in a row. The results were announced in the magazine's 2014 "Best of the Best" list which recognises companies committed to hiring veterans.

"Each year, AlliedBarton works to evolve our military hiring efforts," said Jerold Ramos, Director, Strategic Recruiting/Military Liaison, AlliedBarton. "It is an honour to be recognised for our dedication and military hiring accomplishments as a Best of the Best Company by U.S. Veterans Magazine."

U.S. Veterans Magazine polled hundreds of Fortune 1000 companies for this year's Best of the Best evaluations. USVM's goal is to open up employment, business and supplier opportunities within the federal government and corporate America for veterans, transitioning service members, disabled veterans, spouses and veteran business owners. The annual review is an evaluation of the nation's employers, initiatives, government agencies and educational institutions. These nonbiased studies are valuable resources for jobseekers, business owners, students, consumers, senior management, business associations, employment agencies and consumer groups.

"Veterans are entrepreneurial, they assume high levels of trust, and they're resilient," said Mona Lisa Faris, president and publisher of the U.S. Veterans Magazine. "This magazine was created to support our troops, and we at USVM are proud to recognise other businesses that are also making veterans a priority."

Through AlliedBarton's military hiring program, Hire Our Heroes(SM), the company hired more than 5,000 veterans and reservists in 2013, and is on track to do the same in 2014.
