Business Link is administered by the New York City Human Resources Administration. This program links public assistance recipients who are ready and eager to make the transition from welfare to work with employment opportunities within the private sector. Firms hiring employees through Business Link may be eligible to receive initial salary subsidies as well as state and federal tax credits. The program gives employers access to a large pool of motivated candidates who meet employers' needs. Business Link conducts pre-employment interviews, screens applicants and sends resumes of candidates who meet job specifications.
Employers can select candidates to interview, with no obligation to hire.
