Why J-1

Documented, motivated, and already cleared to work.

The J-1 Exchange Visitor Program exists to bring students to the United States for cultural exchange and seasonal work. Everything is arranged before they land.

Work authorization, handled

Students arrive with their DS-2019 and J-1 visa already issued, sponsored by a designated sponsoring agency.

A real payroll advantage

J-1 students in nonresident status are generally exempt from Social Security, Medicare and FUTA. Ask us how it applies to your payroll before you budget.

Team culture

Students come from across Europe and Asia. Guests notice, and so do the staff who work alongside them.

Answers the same day

We guarantee an immediate response to any question, and stay reachable from your first call through the day your last student flies home.

Roles we fill

Entry-level jobs, covered for the whole season.

If it is seasonal and entry-level, we have almost certainly staffed it.

Hiring programs

Two seasons. Plan the one you need.

Matching can take up to sixty days depending on the time of year and what you need, so the earlier you tell us your numbers, the better the match you get.

Peak demand

Summer

The largest program. Students come on a short three-to-four month visa to experience American life and bring cultural diversity to US businesses. They arrive with working English and sharpen it alongside native speakers.

Arrive early May to early July, most between May 15 and June 15
Depart mostly after Labor Day weekend in September
Snow season

Winter

College students arriving for the snow season. Winter resorts, hotels, stores and any other business can staff the stretch when local hiring is hardest.

Arrive December until January
Depart March
International students

Screened by the sponsoring agencies.

The designated sponsoring agencies are required to screen every candidate before you ever see a resume. Personal interviews confirm the program suits the participant's background, needs and experience — and only full-time post-secondary students at accredited institutions are eligible at all.
