FAQ’s

  1. How do I hire refugees?

    Amplio Ventures is partnered and fully integrated with Amplio Recruiting, a full service staffing firm that specializes in placing skilled refugees into jobs. Companies engaged with Amplio Ventures will have access to Amplio Recruiting Services


  2. What countries do refugees come from?

    Refugees are individuals who have been forced from their home due to violence, disease or religious persecution in their home country. Most recently, the majority of refugees resettling in the US have come from the Democratic Republic of Congo as well as other East and West African nations. Some Southeast Asian nations such as Burma (Myanmar) have produced many refugees also due to political violence and civil reference. Finally, Syria, Iraq and other nations in the Middle East have hemorrhaged with refugees over the past decade.


  3. Are refugees legal to work in the US?

    They receive legal status the day they arrive because they’ve already been vetted by homeland security. We also run background checks and E-verify to ensure we are employing only those legal to work in the US.


  4. Is there a language barrier for refugees resettling in the US?

    Yes, but many refugees have been studying English for a long time or have lived in the US long enough to pick up the language. We will only place those with your company that have a level of English that is proficient enough to do their job.


  5. Is transportation an issue for refugees resettling in the US?

    It can be a challenge at times, but most of the refugees in our pipeline have a driver’s license and reliable transportation. We’ve become experts at navigating around transportation issues to match you with the right client.


  6. Are refugees legal immigrants?

    All refugees are considered legal U.S. residents upon arrival. Each individual or family goes through a stringent screening process that includes numerous interviews with the United Nations. We perform background checks and use E-verify to confirm the legitimacy of each employee. Many refugees from the Middle East fought alongside American troops in combat or aided American forces in some capacity.


  7. What is a refugee?

    By definition, a refugee is “a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster“. Most refugees currently living in America are from South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Many of them have graduated from higher education and possess relevant professional experience but are largely underrepresented in the job marketplace.
