Strive has developed a remarkable reputation for working with people who have poor work habits, limited work skills, or insufficient social support. By systematically linking workers to growth sectors through these various efforts, PJI tries to make the labor recruitment market more efficient by reducing the cost of labor recruitment, particularly for economic sectors made up principally by small companies.
