Walking the walk, not just talking the talk

"Veteran-friendly" shows up on a lot of job postings. Too often it means a flag in the lobby and nothing else. The Veteran Friendly Index exists to tell the difference.

The VFI Score measures what companies actually do: how many veterans they hire and keep, whether there's a veteran employee resource group with real support behind it, whether managers understand military culture, how the company treats Guard and Reserve members, and whether its benefits fit veteran life.

Companies apply for free. We verify their answers, and only verified answers count. Veterans who work there can tell us privately whether the profile matches their experience. Certification renews every year.

Why companies take part

• Veteran candidates look for proof, not slogans. A verified badge on a careers page stands out.
• The score breakdown is a practical roadmap for HR: what to build next, and how you compare.
• Companies certified during our founding period keep the Founding Member mark for good.

Why it's free

We're building the most trusted list of veteran-friendly employers in the country. That only works if every good company can join, regardless of size or budget. A company can't buy a better score.
