The results were announced in the magazine's 2013 "Best of the Best" list which recognizes companies committed to hiring military veterans.

"Being cited as a top veteran-friendly company is a true honor," said Jerold Ramos, Director, Strategic Recruiting/Military Liaison, AlliedBarton. "As the only security officer services company on this list, we are proud to lead the security sector in military hiring."

U.S. Veterans Magazine's 2013 Best of the Best Lists were compiled from multiple sources including market research, independent research, diversity conference participation and survey responses.

"We have hired over 3,000 veterans in the first seven months of 2013," said Ramos who states that nearly 20% of AlliedBarton's new hires this year are veterans.

AlliedBarton's company-wide military hiring program, Hire Our Heroes(SM), www.alliedbarton.com/hireourheroes, is an essential part of their recruiting strategy.

Ramos was also recently appointed to lead the Military Spouse Program Work Group for JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s 100,000 Jobs Mission.
