Securitas USA Named Military-Friendly Employer by G.I.Jobs Magazine

Securitas Security Services USA, Inc. announced that it has earned the 2014 Military Friendly Employer title by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs and Military Spouse.

According to a release, companies competed for the elite Military Friendly Employer title via a data-driven survey of over 5,000 companies with resulting survey data independently tested by Ernst & Young based upon the weightings and methodology established by Victory Media. Criteria for the survey included a benchmark score across key programs and policies such as strength of company military recruiting efforts, the percentage of new hires with prior military service, retention programs, and policies on National Guard and Reserve service.

Securitas Security Services USA said it aggressively seeks to hire military talent and has found that hiring from the military community is a strategic competitive advantage. "We value the commitment and work ethic that qualified veterans bring to Securitas USA. Their experience contributes to our success especially in providing quality service to our clients," said Rocco L. DeFelice, Executive Vice President.

Now in its 11th year, Military Friendly Employers media is the premier resource for transitioning service members and spouses seeking civilian employment. Each year companies taking the survey are held to a higher standard than the previous year via improved methodology, criteria and weightings developed with the assistance of an Advisory Board consisting of leaders in the military recruitment community.

Securitas Security Services USA will be showcased, along with other 2014 Military Friendly Employers in the December edition of G.I. Jobs magazine and online at www.MilitaryFriendly.com. Using the priority data engine on www.MilitaryFriendly.com job seekers are able to view prospective employer profiles, as well as design their own custom lists according to their preference.

"The 2014 Military Friendly Employers represent the preeminent tier of companies with strong military recruitment programs and meaningful job opportunities for transitioning service members and spouses seeking civilian employment," said Sean Collins, Vice President for Victory Media and a nine-year Navy veteran.
