- A primary question employers raise is whether referred individuals are authorized to work. Since most grants are government-funded, all individuals are confirmed to be legally authorized to work.
- Employers often inquire about the volume of available candidates, sometimes expecting immediate, large-scale staffing solutions. BSRs clarify that the organization is not a staffing agency and cannot provide a high volume of individuals on short notice. The focus is on quality matching and recruitment assistance, not high-volume placement.
- Employers frequently ask about the experience level of referred candidates. BSRs explain that some individuals may have experience, while other participants are seeking to enter or re-enter the workforce and may lack current experience. BSRs highlight available training programs that can offset the employer’s cost to train new hires.
