Military experience is an asset. Most hiring processes just aren’t built to read it.

That’s the gap we close. A Pittsburgh Hires Veterans coordinator sits down with you one-on-one to understand where you’ve been and where you want to go, translates your service into the language employers are actually hiring for, then works our network of more than 500 employers on your behalf — making direct introductions, not just forwarding you a job posting.

“I absolutely would not be here if it wasn’t for the introduction made by Pittsburgh Hires Veterans.” —W.S., University of Pittsburgh

Our services are free, for veterans and employers alike. We work with veterans, current service members, National Guard and Reserve, and military spouses — regardless of discharge status or era served. Whether you’re just starting to think about life after service or you’ve been searching on your own for months, we meet you where you are and stay with you until you land somewhere that fits.

Veterans in Allegheny County face an unemployment rate above the statewide average for veterans — not for lack of skill, but because hiring systems struggle to read military experience and benefit structures can make the transition harder than it needs to be. Every placement changes that math. A veteran in stable, well-paying work strengthens a household, a household strengthens a neighborhood, and that’s how a region becomes a place people choose after service.
