Businesses Cut Through Immigration Issues with Overseas Recruitment Association

May 7, 2007 — Riga, Latvia—According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics more than 15 percent of last year’s U.S. labor force was comprised of foreign-born workers. But for companies recruiting workers, getting through the immigration maze and finding qualified potential employees can result in hours of headaches, paperwork and bureaucratic hoops. That is where Overseas Recruitment Association comes in.

During the past 10 years, Overseas Recruitment Association has helped U.S. businesses hire almost 6,000 seasonal workers and permanent employees in a variety of industries, including restaurants and hospitality, construction, technology, healthcare, manufacturing, etc. Overseas Recruitment Association provides first-rate overseas recruitment and visa processing (such as H-2B visas and H-2A visas) for companies in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.

Overseas Recruitment Association assists U.S. companies in the hiring of foreign workers to perform temporary work for which no U.S. workers are available. A dedicated head office H-2B team recruits year-round, with agents working in more than 20 countries worldwide. The H2-B visa permits companies who need seasonal workers or intermittent labor boosts to supplement their existing labor force with foreign workers.

Overseas Recruitment Association also assists U.S. companies in securing J1 visas for their international visitors, research scholars, specialists or those workers coming for company training purposes. The J1 visa has been designated from the U.S. Department of State as the visa for cultural or exchange programs, especially in the art, education and science fields.

From face-to-face interviewing and screening potential employees to skills assessment, training and immigration processing, Overseas Recruitment Association oversees all facets of foreign worker recruitment for companies big and small. “We take care of the immigration drama so you get trained, competent workers to fulfill your company’s recruitment needs,” said Founder Tony Hayes. “While we focus on the paperwork and the processing, you can concentrate on running your business.”

Founded in January 1997, Overseas Recruitment Association provides invaluable knowledge, experience and processing services to companies that need help with overseas recruitment and that need assistance through the immigration maze of visa processing. Overseas Recruitment Association carefully screens and evaluates seasonal workers and permanent workers from Asia, Eastern Europe and South America for both skilled and unskilled jobs. Overseas Recruitment Association offers low-cost processing of H-2B and J1 visas through their U.S. corporate attorney. “We work closely with one of the best H-2B attorneys in America, and I say that in all seriousness. After working with several attorneys through the years, we finally have a very good one who gets results and has kept us ahead of the H-2B cap every time,” Hayes said.
