  3. We’ll link these candidates to you and support you and the candidate during the interview and hiring process.

Our assistance doesn’t stop when the candidate gets the job. You’ll also get ongoing education and training, technical assistance with employment-related questions and help identifying necessary accommodations. And your new employees will receive ongoing job coaching to ensure continued success at your organization.
