Inclusive Hiring: A Guide for Milwaukee Employers

Why inclusive hiring matters in Milwaukee

Milwaukee employers are facing open roles, thin applicant pools, and costly turnover. Inclusive hiring is a practical response. Partnering with an employment agency like ACO gives you access to motivated, pre-screened candidates — plus the support and incentives that make the hire a win for everyone.

What ACO offers employers

Our employer partners receive no-cost recruitment and support services, including:

• No-cost job placement and recruitment services
• Pre-screened, qualified candidates matched to your needs
• On-the-job coaching and ongoing support at no cost to you
• Federal and state tax incentives, including WOTC
• Partial wage reimbursement during training periods
• Reduced recruitment, hiring, and training costs
• A more diverse, loyal, and higher-performing workforce
• Consulting to build an inclusive workplace culture

Why hire a person with a disability?

Research and our own experience with Milwaukee employers show that workers with disabilities often:

• Are fiercely loyal
• Boost job morale and corporate culture
• Expand a company's talent pool
• Increase diversity in the company
• Are higher-performing individuals
• Reduce turnover and hiring costs

How the partnership works

We start by learning about your open role, workplace culture, and the skills that matter most. Then we match you with candidates who have been through job readiness training and understand the position. A job coach trains alongside your new employee and stays available afterward, so your supervisors are not carrying onboarding alone.
