Because they are resourceful, determined and highly motivated, refugees make excellent employees.  Some have professional and technical credentials. Many are bilingual and understand multiple cultures.  Even so, most start out in entry-level positions so they can begin working immediately. Refugees have low turnover rates, which will save your company training and hiring costs. With their dedication, refugees bring high productivity and reliability to the job.  We know your time is valuable, so we screen, match and prepare all of our refugee clients before we refer them to you.  Other ways you can benefit from a partnership with IRC are:

• Fast and easy recruitment and job fills from a consistent source of staff who are screened by the State Department and legally authorized to work in the U.S. 
• Staff who are adaptable, quick learners with a positive attitude and have solid skills
• Staff with varied experience: some have professional or technical expertise but all willing to accept entry-level positions, begin immediately and earn advancement
• Increased productivity—more volume, more output, faster results
• Lower turnover and higher retention rates that come with loyal, dependable workers
• A diversified workplace with multi-lingual, multi-cultural skills
