Testimonials
"Working with Hire Heroes USA was like winning the lottery! I had five interviews after receiving their assistance. Because of their preparation, I gained the confidence I needed, which lead me to a new career, not just another job. It felt great knowing someone had my back in my career search."
-United States Army E-5,
"The best part about the Hire Heroes USA program is the Veteran Transition Specialists. My VTS acted like a coach and mentor throughout the process. It was great bouncing thoughts and ideas - even a few gripes - off him. As challenging as finding new employment is, having an additional asset in my corner helped. He checked in with me several times after the workshop and continually offered to advocate on my behalf. I really appreciated everything offered through Hire Heroes USA."
-United States Air Force, O-4
Military transition and spouse employment are major issues veterans and families have to overcome and Hire Heroes USA does an incredible job supporting both. What they do is amazing! My wife and I are already sharing our experience with everyone we know. Thank you!

Mission
Hire Heroes USA empowers U.S. military members, veterans and spouses to succeed in the civilian workforce.
Background Statement
U.S. Army Sergeant Justin Callahan was severely injured in a landmine explosion while on patrol in Afghanistan. Back home as a patient at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, he met John Bardis, CEO of MedAssets. The two formed an immediate bond, and Bardis learned that Callahan's biggest concern, despite his injuries, was finding employment.
After offering Callahan a job on the spot, he was inspired to create Hire Heroes USA-a nonprofit that provides free job search support to U.S. military members, veterans and military spouses.
