HGR is honored to receive the BlueStone Courtesy in Service Award from the Euclid Chamber of Commerce.
According to the Chamber, HGR was nominated and selected for our openness and ability to hire people from all walks of life, especially those who need it most.
Most recently, we hired three people named John, Hameed, and Saba, refugees who were relocated in the Cleveland area after experiencing danger and loss in their home country.
We helped arrange the positions for our new hires to start soon after their arrival to help them “Hit the Ground Running” at HGR.
Learn more about the story of John, Hameed, and Saba below.
