Hiring Confessional

Ep. 21 Episode 11 - The Talent Pool You're Completely Overlooking (Audio)


Jeff Swanson, CEO of One Step Beyond, joins The Hiring Confessional to discuss how his nonprofit helps adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities build meaningful careers and more independent lives. We also explore why more employers are discovering that inclusive hiring isn't just the right thing to do—it's a smart business decision. Jeff shares how the organization prepares individuals for success, partners with employers, and challenges long-held misconceptions about hiring people with disabilities.
