FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Nov. 10, 2014 – Hyundai Motor America has been recognized by Victory Media, Inc., a veteran-owned business, as a 2015 Military Friendly Employer for its long-term commitment to hiring and recruiting former military members. Hyundai also has policies for Guard and Reserve members called to active duty, where upon completion of service, members will be reinstated to either their former or another position within the company.

Hyundai currently employs about 1,000 veterans in the United States, across its corporate headquarters, dealerships and manufacturing plant in Alabama. Utilizing Hyundai's proprietary website HyundaiCareers.com, dealers hired more than 230 veterans since January 2013.

'Hyundai has the greatest respect for military veterans and appreciates their sacrifices for our country,' said Dave Zuchowski, president and CEO, Hyundai Motor America.
