No, Upwardly Global is not a fee-based placement agency. We do offer fee-based, customizable partnerships that include unlimited access to our talent pool and cross-cultural volunteer events and training.
Our candidates are from all over the world, primarily Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe.
They immigrated for a variety of reasons, as have so many immigrant Americans before them. Some are refugees, having escaped war or political upheaval. Others sought asylum in the U.S. to escape persecution. Some won the diversity lottery in their home country and some came through the U.S.’s family reunification program to join family members already here. No matter what the circumstances, they came seeking a better life for themselves and their families and want to contribute their professional skills in their new home.
We work with individuals from all professions, including healthcare, engineering, IT, accounting, marketing, management, law, nonprofit, education, science, and many more.
We are developing specializations in the technology, healthcare, and engineering sectors, particularly with employers that have a current talent shortage and/or anticipate a near-term talent shortage.
