Measuring Veteran Representation With Clarity and Confidence
Veteran Benchmarking helps organizations understand how veteran representation within their workforce compares to available labor market data. Rather than relying on outdated assumptions or rigid targets, Lighthouse provides clear, data-driven benchmarks that support informed decision-making and responsible workforce planning.
Our approach is designed to support transparency, consistency, and defensibility in employment practices—especially in today’s evolving regulatory environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Veteran Benchmarking required?
While requirements vary by organization, many employers continue to benchmark veteran representation for internal governance, reporting consistency, or audit preparedness. This service supports informed decision-making without creating compliance obligations.
Does this replace VETS-4212 reporting?
No. Veteran Benchmarking is an analytical service, while VETS-4212 is a federally required report for covered contractors. Many clients use both together for a complete picture.
Does Lighthouse set veteran hiring goals?
No. Lighthouse does not establish hiring goals, quotas, or targets. The analysis is strictly informational and benchmark-based.
