A Third Gold HIRE Vets Medallion for the Smoothstack and Fedstack Team
The U.S. Department of Labor has awarded Smoothstack, Fedstack’s parent company, a 2026 Gold HIRE Vets Medallion Award. It is the third time at the Gold level, following 2022 and 2025.
The HIRE Vets Medallion is the only federal award program that recognizes employers who successfully recruit, hire, and retain veterans. At Fedstack, veterans and military spouses build engineering careers in government technology, including through our Women Veterans and Military Spouses Cybersecurity Cohort with WiCyS and Women in Technology.
“Agencies modernizing critical systems need engineers who understand the mission as well as the technology,” said Christopher Coligado, Executive Vice President and Federal Business Lead at Fedstack. “Veterans and military spouses have lived that mission. We build the engineering skills on top of it.”
