Provalus Awarded HIRE Vets® Medallion for the Second Year in a Row
November 9, 2020

Provalus, the domestic impact outsourcing brand of Optomi Professional Services, announced today that it has been recognized as a 2022 HIRE Vets Medallion Award winner by the U.S. Department of Labor.


Provalus is a purpose-driven organization on a mission to make a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals and families, specifically by hiring and up-skilling them to deliver technology-related services to Fortune-listed clients. Within that mission resides several goals; one of which is to achieve a workforce consisting of 20% military veterans. Currently 40% of the Provalus workforce is comprised of members of the military community and 65% of its leadership are veterans.


The Provalus mission to hire veterans goes well beyond simply hiring great talent, it is continually re-skilling them so career advancement is possible. Provalus has built technology centers near military installations to ease the transition for both veterans and their families. This enables military veterans to remain in their communities, have access to the VA’s and maintain the support system they have come to rely on. Provalus has four state-of-the-art facilities employing hundreds of Americans in jobs traditionally done overseas. Its commitment to helping veterans transition to civilian careers is significant to the Provalus mission of revitalizing rural America. Provalus delivers business, technology and support services for corporations seeking to keep their outsourced technology services inside U.S. borders.

There's a word that gets thrown around a lot in the outsourcing industry: efficiency. Faster. Cheaper. Scaled. These are the metrics that dominate the conversation, and for good reason. Results matter. But somewhere along the way, a critical question got left behind. At what cost, and to whom? Provalus was built on a different premise. The best business outcomes and the most meaningful community impact are not in tension; They are, in fact, the same thing. Invest in people, places, and communities that surround them, and you don't sacrifice performance. You amplify it. That's what it means to be Anchored in America .
