For the Fifth Consecutive Year, Rite-Solutions Receives HIRE Vets Platinum Award for Recruiting and Retaining Veterans

MIDDLETOWN, RI (December 8, 2025)—Rite-Solutions recently received the HIRE Vets Medallion Award for the fifth consecutive year.

The Department of Labor (DoL) Veterans’ Employment and Training Service (VETS) proposed the Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing (HIRE) American Military Veterans Act of 2017 (HIRE Vets Act). Each year since, companies are recognized on Veterans Day for their efforts to recruit, employ, and retain veterans.

This year, Rite-Solutions is one of 155 medium-sized companies (51 – 499 employees) nationwide, and one of two medium-sized companies in Rhode Island, to receive the Platinum Medallion Award.

“As a veteran-founded company, connecting with the veteran community is incredibly meaningful,” says Katherine Oberg, Talent Acquisition Specialist at Rite-Solutions. “Receiving this award solidifies our efforts and we are proud to be acknowledged.  I am pleased to be able to connect with, and support our nation’s veterans!”

To qualify for the Platinum Medallion, the highest level achievable, companies must meet specific criteria. Ten percent of new hires must be veterans (Rite-Solutions hires more than twice this amount) or 85% of veteran employees must be retained. And, veterans must make up 10% of all employees. In addition, companies must offer a human resources veterans’ initiative, a pay differential program, or a tuition assistance program.

“Our veterans are critical to the value we provide our customers,” adds Joe Marino, Rite-Solutions CEO and Co-Founder. “As former war fighters, they ensure the innovation we bring is relevant to those employed in combat.”
