Why our candidates?
Coached candidates bring workplace readiness backed by professional guidance. Partner with talent that’s primed for performance, supported to succeed, and equipped with the tools to thrive from day one!
Recruiting can drain your time and budget—especially when the right candidates are hard to find. We simplify the process, cut your costs, and connect you with people who are ready to work.
Employers we have partnered with have the advantageous opportunity of participating in WORKING INTERVIEWS where a prepared candidate comes into the workplace to demonstrate their initial level of skill and ability to complete tasks expected. Candidates are insured by SAIF and this service is of no cost to employers, so it is an win-win for both parties – You get to see evaluate them in action and they get a chance to show you their strengths!
The Opportunity Club’s Employment Specialists provide JOB COACHING to ensure initial training led by employers is mastered and retained. We build independence with work tasks through assessing and improving upon their skills with task analysis reviews which provide opportunities for innovative support and creative accommodations or alternative techniques to complete tasks successfully.
The Opportunity Club’s Employment Specialists provide CONTINUOUS SUPPORT. We build ongoing relationships with employers to ensure workplace satisfaction. Our job coaches can jump back in after the initial hiring process to help a candidate learn new skills, build upon existing talent, and problem solve roadblocks for resolution.
