General Manager at Hotel Bardo Savannah, Georgia

I have worked with HRC International for 17 years, and the reason why I partnered with them is because they sent only the best candidates from all over the world to work with me. That's why I enjoyed working together with HRC International.

Rafael Quezada
Director of Talent & Culture at Fairmont Grand Del Mar, California

We’ve been partnering with HRC International for about five years. Since 2019, we’ve hosted J-1 teammates from over 15 countries, which has been an amazing partnership that has allowed us to show our commitment to diversity and inclusion while also creating excellent training programs for J-1 teammates to experience what we have to offer here at the Dewberry Hotel.
We have also truly enjoyed our partnership with HRC International. They’ve been extremely seamless to work with, and we look forward to continued success in the future.

Suzanne Glover
Director of People and Culture Dewberry Hotel, South Carolina

I have continuously worked with HRC since 2005. The relationship that we have built over the years allowed me to integrate over 100 J-1’s in the day-to-day operations. They have a great network of potential employees and understand the needs of our business. The most satisfying part for me is seeing the young professionals develop their skills in front of my eyes to become leaders at the workplace and in the community. HRC and their highly competent staff make the entire process fast and seamless

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the costs to host a J-1 participant?

Host employers are not charged placement fees by HRC. You provide competitive stipends based on position and location (typically $2,000-$4,000/month), and participants cover their own program fees. We can discuss specific cost structures during consultation.

How long does the placement process take?

Our efficient process typically delivers qualified candidates in 6-8 weeks from position acceptance to start date. Timeline depends on visa processing and candidate availability.

What support does HRC provide during the program?

HRC provides ongoing program monitoring, 24/7 emergency support, regular check-ins with both employer and participant, compliance guidance, and dedicated account management throughout the entire program duration.

Can we hire a J-1 participant permanently after the program?
J-1 participants must return to their home country after program completion per visa regulations. However, many employers maintain relationships and later sponsor candidates through other visa categories. Our Executive Search services can assist with permanent placements.

J-1 programs are designed for training positions in culinary arts, food and beverage, front office, housekeeping management, and other hospitality operations. Positions must provide structured learning experiences aligned with the participant's educational background.
