The Host Your Own Refugee Hiring Event Training builds on a unique and successful hiring model developed for #WelcomingEconomy for Refugees by Jumpstart Refugee Talent, World Education Services, and Starbucks Foundation.
Refugee Hiring Events are different from most job fairs:
- Participating employers have access to well-matched applicants, leading to cost-savings associated with long recruitment cycles.
- Applicants are pre-screened to match employer needs – 70-85% of pre-screened refugee candidates at previous hiring events received job offers or second round interviews with employers.
- Shortlisted candidates receive resume assistance and interview coaching.
Why Host Your Own Refugee Hiring Event?
- Communities that create pathways for newcomers to succeed are more economically resilient.
- Businesses that hire refugee talent are more innovative and better able to meet the needs of diverse consumers.
- Refugees have the diverse, in-demand skills and training that employers need
