Veteran Services
What to Expect
Pittsburgh Hires Veterans was established based on a single idea…
To provide FREE one-on-one support to Veterans and their spouses to improve their employment outcomes. We help you find the right job for you!
Whether you are unemployed, under-employed, or you just don’t like what you are doing, we are here to help.
Brian is our employment specialist. He listens to your needs, asks questions to understand, and then connects you to the companies, jobs, or services you need.
Jack will step in to help clarify your goals, tune up your resume or work on interviewing skills so you are ready when the employer calls.
And, if you have significant barriers to employment, like a disability or negative legal history, or just don’t know what your next step should be, you should talk with Jim. He is a licensed and certified Vocational Counselor who has years of experience working with Veterans.

EMPLOYER FAQ’s
PHV as an employer partner is free for all employers. We only ask that you make a commitment to hiring veterans.
No. There are no fees to hire a veteran from PHV or to be listed on our site as an employer partner.
Contact us via email, phone or stop in and visit. Complete the “New Employer” form and submit along with any open positions.
Someone from the PHV team will reach out to you, to discuss your business in more detail and the open positions you have to fill. From there they will see if we have any potential matches with our veterans.
The time frame will vary for each position depending on the requirements and the veterans we are working with at that time. Also, we cannot guarantee that we will have a veteran with the skills or interests that are required for your open position at the time needed.
