Built by an Army Recruiter. For Military Medics & Civilian Healthcare.
Valor was founded by Joshua Huchingson, a former active-duty Army healthcare recruiter with direct experience placing transitioning military medical professionals. For 3+ years, Joshua worked the military medical pipeline—he knows exactly where transitioning talent is, how to credential them, and which civilian employers value military training.
Lupe brings HR expertise and Marine Corps background. Together, we're not a generic staffing agency. We're insider recruiters who understand the military-to-civilian transition.
Every clinician who served deserves a civilian role that respects their experience.
Every Military physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, RN, and 68W medic who transitions out of service deserves a civilian role that honors their training and sacrifice. We make that happen — fast, accurately, and with a guarantee. For employers, we deliver mission-ready clinical talent who show up, perform under pressure, and stay.
Why Joshua Started Valor
While recruiting for the Army, Joshua noticed something: transitioning military medics and RNs were either overpaying for recruiters who didn't understand military credentials, or getting matched with employers who didn't appreciate their value.
Meanwhile, civilian healthcare employers were struggling to find reliable, security-clearance-eligible candidates with leadership experience and zero turnover risk.
Valor exists to close that gap. Joshua brought his Army recruiting playbook, his relationships across military medical installations, and his credentialing expertise. Now we're filling that job order.
