Employment
"I am thrilled to have a resource/partner like IRC to help with our staffing needs. Without exception, each IRC referral we’ve hired has exceeded my expectations. They have been eager and quick to learn new skills, dependable, motivated, and have modeled the worker attributes we have had trouble finding through other sources."
~David Gay, Eight O’clock Coffee, Landover, Maryland
