Hire Refugees
Find Top Talent and Make a Global Difference.
By joining Talent Beyond Boundaries as a corporate partner, your company can find needed talent while contributing to building an additional solution to one of the world’s most pressing challenges.
TBB recognizes that employers face challenges filling their hiring needs. We can help by enabling you to consider talented refugees as part of your future workforce.
With support from the U.S. State Department Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, a cooperation agreement with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), and our partnership with SPARK, we have identified a talent pool of 10,000 individuals in Jordan and Lebanon, many of whom were skilled professionals in a range of fields before they were forced to flee their home countries. These individuals have shared detailed information about their skills, work experiences, education, and language abilities. These candidates are eager to rebuild their careers and contribute to society.
