Breaking Barriers has staffing agency operates in four cities of WNY including  Buffalo, Rochester, Niagara Falls, and Jamestown. Each of these cities have large, and mostly overlooked, refugee communities. At Breaking Barriers, we have connected with, and recruit from, these vibrant and highly motivated refugee groups.

Refugees are not economic immigrants. They did not come here looking for better livelihoods. They fled their homeland because conditions there represented an existential threat to themselves and their families. The freedoms and opportunities they discovered in America are like manna from heaven. This unique view of life in America translates into a grateful and highly motivated community that believes in the American dream.

Refugees are stringently screened by Department of Homeland Security and the UN. They are legal residents with valid Social Security accounts and Green Cards. We verify their status through E-Verify. Nearly half of the refugees speak conversational English, many have postgraduate educations, and all are eager to learn and succeed in America.

The net benefit to our clients is a reliable workforce that shows up on time, dressed appropriately, eager to learn, and takes on OT with a smile. In many instances, their production exceeds that of the regular workforce and actually acts as a motivational influence. If that holds an interest, call us now and let’s chat about how this amazing group of workers can assist your company.
