Recruiting and Staffing
“I had resigned myself to the fact that it would a miracle if I were able to find a decent job. Well, my miracle happened when I was hired. A program where the disabled are treated as potential assets and actually hired is priceless. And, unfortunately few and far between. There is no feeling on earth like the redeeming feeling of validity that a good job gives to a disabled person. [HirePotential made that possible.]” – Thomas, Job Seeker
“The candidates that have been selected are an asset to our team and have made a positive impact since day one. I think that this opportunity will shed a light on the capabilities of people with disabilities. I would like to single out a person, [although] his initial training took longer because he was blind and had to learn the program management tool which is very complex, once he was trained he…exceeded all expectations. He has surpassed the number of calls per month for more experienced agents at the desk without sacrificing the quality of the call ticket and his numbers are constantly improving. His sense of humor helps break the ice for people who are uncomfortable of being around a blind person. He sets the pace for any other person with disabilities on this desk.” – Curt, Client Manager for Large International Fortune 500 Company
“The program is a complete success and exceeded my expectations by a wide margin, more than I had even hoped for. The people you have sent me to staff my Customer Service Center desk are of the highest caliber and the level of enthusiasm and dedication is something to be showcased and admired. Your Efforts really changed the world as I and many of my co-workers knew it forever. My sincerest thanks.“ – Ed, Client Manager for Large International Fortune 500 Company
“I would like to state that this program is very successful within our Customer Care environment. The candidates that have been selected are an asset to our team and have made a positive impact since day one. These people are highly motivated and very enthusiastic in all aspects of the work that is done here. I think this opportunity will shed light on the capabilities of people with disabilities to show that they can overcome obstacles and erase any prejudices or misconceptions that may have existed.” – Carl, Client Manager for Large International Fortune 500 Company

The meeting was also helpful to validate the work we have done thus far to make our website more compliant, how we should prioritize our additional compliance efforts, as well as to provide us a forum to have our questions answered. Jeff, Project Manager, Community College
Thank you for a very smooth testing process from your team. Padma, Project Manager, Government contractor, Forture 500 Company
