Hire a Refugee

Thank you for giving motivated refugees a chance to prove themselves, provide for their families, and reestablish their pride and dignity. 

RefugeeOne will make your work easier by coordinating interviews, interpreting at on-the-job training, outfitting refugees with uniforms, and providing ongoing support to you as an employer. 
Fast Facts about Refugee Employment:
  • Refugees are fully authorized to work in the U.S. They are screened by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and have passed all background and drug tests.
  • Most employers who hire refugees can qualify for the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit. Employers can claim a credit of 25-40% of the employee's wages, up to $2,400 for their first 12 months.
  • Common industries for RefugeeOne clients include manufacturing, hospitality, food service, healthcare, and retail.
  • ​Many refugees are willing to accept non-traditional shifts that include overnight hours, holidays, and overtime.
  • RefugeeOne partners with more than 75 employers. Currently, our top employers are Tyson Foods, Five Star Laundry, Rivers Casino, Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, and Resource Employment Solutions.
  • During Fiscal Year 2015, 234 RefugeeOne clients found jobs. 92% remained at their job for at least 90 days, well above industry standards.
