​Hire a Refugee

Refugees arrive to the U.S. fully authorized to work and eager to provide for their families. Thank you for giving them an opportunity!

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, Eli's Cheesecake, Five Star Laundry, Rivers Casino, Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, and Resource Employment Solutions.

The Manderly Group

"Anyone who comes to work with The Manderly Group, they’re our guys. Myself and the other employees feel that--we’re all a family, a team. And the new guys from RefugeeOne, they fit right in."
