BPA International
Hiring the right person for a job is very difficult. After being involved in recruitment for many years I have come to the determination that we all have "disabilities" and personal challenges that we bring into the workplace. People that have been recruited through VESID or similar organizations just happen to have disabilities and challenges that may be apparent during the interview process.
BPA has found that these types of challenges tend to be straightforward and fairly easily overcome with some innovation and tenacity in the early stages of employment. Once this stage has been completed we have found that we are left with a highly motivated team member that perhaps has a greater value for their position because it has not been easily found.
Lisa Renda
CEO
Time Warner Cable
VESID has been a strong business partner to Time Warner Cable in the sourcing, development and hiring of individuals with disabilities for over 15 years. VESID understand our business and hiring needs and many of the individuals we have hired over the years have either become successful in our organization or used the experience we provided them as a stepping stone to further their careers.
I value the relationship we have built over the years and look forward to continuing the good work that we do together.

RDS Delivery Service
I am proud of the relationship and partnership that we have established with VESID. For the past 10 years RDS Delivery Service has been hiring individuals with disabilities that have been referred by VESID.
We have experienced, higher production, a decrease in absenteeism, a decrease in turnover and an increase in morale. Our customers appreciate what we are doing and at the same time they are making their contribution with repeat business. Pure & simple it just makes good business sense!
Larry Zogby
President
Cucina & Co. In the Cellar at Macy’s
For over 8 years we have employed over 25 VESID members in our operation. They have proven time after time to be the hardest working, most stable, honest and dependable members of my staff. The addition of a job coach has only improved services here.
Our customers often comment on their work ethic and most often times do not notice their disabilities. I wholeheartedly endorse this program and will only sing their praises.

Bulb Direct, Inc.
Over the past 10 years, I have had the pleasure of working with VESID to hire some of our company’s new employees. VESID has taken the time to understand our business needs. They pre-screen each potential employee and send us only the people that meet our requirements. VESID has saved us both time and money, to find potential new employees.
