Precise Earns 2026 HIRE Vets Gold Medallion for Commitment to Veteran Employment
LEXINGTON PARK, MD – November 10, 2026 – Precise Systems has earned the U.S. Department of Labor’s 2026 HIRE Vets Gold Medallion Award, recognizing its commitment to recruiting, hiring, and retaining veterans. The HIRE Vets Medallion Program is the only federal-level veterans’ employment award recognizing employers for their commitment to veteran hiring, retention, and professional development.
The recognition reflects Precise’s continued investment in helping veterans translate military experience into meaningful civilian careers. Through mentorship, leadership development, and opportunities to apply their expertise to critical defense programs, Precise supports veterans as they build on their service while strengthening the capabilities delivered to customers.
“Veterans bring technical expertise, operational perspective, and a deep understanding of the missions our customers depend on us to support,” said Julie Lipoff, Precise Systems’ Senior Vice President of Recruiting. “Our responsibility is to recognize that experience and provide the support and opportunities to help them succeed in their next chapter. Earning the HIRE Vets Gold Medallion again reflects our commitment to helping those who have served continue to grow, lead, and make an impact.”
Gold Medallion recipients in the large employer category meet established standards for veteran hiring and retention, maintain a veteran organization or resource group to support integration, and provide programs that enhance veterans’ leadership skills.
At Precise, that commitment includes BEACON, the company’s veteran employee resource group, which connects veterans with mentorship and support before hire and throughout onboarding. Combined with professional development and leadership training, these efforts help veterans navigate the transition to civilian employment and build lasting careers.
Veterans serve at every level of Precise’s organization, bringing firsthand mission knowledge, adaptability, and leadership to the teams advancing warfighter readiness. Investing in their continued success strengthens both the employee experience and the company’s ability to deliver for its customers.
