Refugees come with permanent unrestricted work authorization and qualify to pass E-verify. Plus, refugees pass their drug tests and background checks.

• 73% of employers across the U.S. reported higher retention rates for refugees than for the workforce as a whole. In the manufacturing industry, the turnover rate for refugees was roughly a third of that for the average employee. This is a big deal when one considers that the cost of replacing an employee can range anywhere from one half to two times their annual salary.

• Refugees bring their diverse sets of skills and experiences with them when they come to the United States. Refugees come from a wide variety of professions in medicine, finance, technology and manufacturing, just to name a few.

  Even if language or certification barriers prevent them from working in a familiar field, refugees still come with the work ethic and other soft-skills they’ve developed over the years.

Employers who hire refugees may qualify for the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. Up to $2,400 per eligible employee may be credited to an employer during tax season.

• Arrive Ministries is committed not only to helping our clients find jobs, but to keeping them as well. We can assist clients with applications, interviews and hiring paperwork. We also check-in with both our clients and their new employers to identify and help resolve any issues that come up post-employment. Here’s what an HR Manager at Bix Produce had to say about working with Arrive Ministries’ Employment Team:

  I really appreciate your dedication to your clients. You do a lot to make sure they succeed at the position, and not just for the first day. You make sure they have the right clothing and know how to get to and from work. When a new hire has trouble understanding a company policy, you take the time to explain it to them and help them understand. I’m grateful that I can still reach out to you with questions for weeks after hiring a new employee."
