Emek added, “Having an expert human resource contractor work thehours a company needs whether long term or for projects—will helpthem meet their goals with the quality and speed they need. Theyget someone with superior skills, a strong work ethic and minimaldistractions, which results in a higher return on theirinvestment.”

WAHVE screens and places job candidates from a pool of olderworkers with the knowledge and experience companies need but can'tfind in the current job market.

In addition, older workers have the convenience of workingfrom home while still holding responsible positions that enablethem to stay active and to improve their financial situation.
