What Makes Us Different
Pre-Screened Candidates
Every candidate is vetted through our structured program before placement. You get workers who are ready, willing, and prepared.
Weekly Drug Screening
Our employees undergo weekly drug testing as part of their recovery accountability. Not annual. Not random. Every single week.
Recovery Support Built In
Volunteers for Recovery provides each employee with ongoing support, helping them stay stable and show up consistently.
Reduced Turnover
Our focus on accountability and long-term placement means fewer hiring cycles and more dedicated employees on your team.
Transportation Provided
We arrange for transportation to and from work for qualifying placements of three or more employees working the same shift and location.

What Our Employer Partners Say
"Blue Ribbon Employees provided us with workers who were more reliable than candidates we'd gotten from traditional staffing agencies. The weekly drug screening gave us confidence, and the ongoing recovery support meant our new hires actually stayed."
Operations Manager - Knoxville Manufacturing Company
"We were skeptical at first about hiring through a recovery-focused program. Within three months, two of our Blue Ribbon placements became some of our best permanent employees. They show up every day with something to prove."
Warehouse Director - Knox County Distribution Center
