Cognizant Recognized as Military Friendly Employer

Cognizant is proud to announce it has earned the elite designation as a 2015 Military Friendly Employer® by Victory Media, publisher of G.I. Jobs and Military Spouse.  The Military Friendly® Employers list is determined annually from a review of more than 5,000 companies, government agencies and non-profits, distinguishing those with the strongest job opportunities and programs for transitioning service members and spouses seeking civilian employment.

Cognizant strives to provide a positive work place for military veterans and facilitate an easier transition back into civilian life with careers that utilize their advanced leadership skills and strong work ethic. Cognizant formalized its veterans hiring initiative in 2013 with the announcement of  “CAMO to Cognizant.” The program’s mission is to support and enrich the careers of those who have served while also enriching Cognizant as an organization and the services the company provides to clients.  The program focuses on Corporate Culture, Leadership, Recruitment, Onboarding, and Career Growth and Support, areas of emphasis designed to create a robust Veteran employee experience.

“The leadership, discipline and team spirit that our veterans bring to the company help us provide the best solutions and service to our clients,” said Gordon Coburn, President, Cognizant. “We are honored to be named as a 2015 Military Friendly Employer and will continue to invest in our veterans.  Bringing on more veterans as a part of our team is an integral part of Cognizant’s recruitment strategy.”
