Hire Veterans

What Hire Veterans does

Hire Veterans (legal entity: Served with Honor, LLC) operates a veteran-focused online job marketplace, founded in 2003 by Brian Reese, an Air Force service-disabled veteran, and headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company connects transitioning service members, veterans, and military spouses with employers seeking to hire from the veteran talent pool, addressing an annual US market of roughly 200,000 service member transitions. The platform hosts 10,000+ job listings and serves a mixed employer base ranging from large enterprises (BlackRock, Mondelez International) to small and mid-sized employers, government, education, and nonprofit organizations.

The core product is a job board that is free for job seekers and monetized on the employer side through tiered subscription packages (Basic at $199/mo, Pro at $399/mo, Teams at $599/mo, and Teams Annual at $3,999). The platform layers a domain-specific MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) Skills Explorer that translates military codes into civilian job titles, addressing a core translation problem for the target audience. In addition to the job board, Hire Veterans offers AI-powered Career Services ($49.99 one-time for 3-month access) — including resume building, an AI Bullet Generator, ATS scoring, and AI Mock Interviews — delivered through a white-label partnership with Rezi. A Talent Solutions offering extends the business into recruiter-led, human-assisted veteran hiring for employers that prefer a managed service.

The business model is multi-tiered: subscription revenue from employer packages, transactional revenue from Career Services, and service revenue from Talent Solutions. The company is bootstrapped and privately held, with no disclosed funding rounds, and operates with a small (1-10) employee footprint, suggesting a sustainably small but established niche operator rather than a venture-scale business. Active job listings show some international presence (UK, India, France, Taiwan, Serbia, UAE), indicating at least lightweight global expansion of the supply side.
