We are excited to introduce Jean Witter, our National Recruiter here at Seven Hills. Jean’s work revolves around searching for and hiring the best talent for our company, as well as “ensuring representation and diversity” within the workforce at every affiliate in Seven Hills. His journey at the company started as a Direct Support Professional. Within three months, he was promoted to a unit supervisor role and has never looked back. As he completes four years at Seven Hills, he has hired talent from all over the U.S., Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

 He received his undergraduate degree in Computer Science but changed his career path and came to the US with his wife and two friends after they all received offers to work with Seven Hills. He shares that as a Puerto Rican coming to the US for the first time, he was nervous and afraid of discrimination. However, he has found the work culture to be super accepting and welcoming over the years. He hopes to pay it forward by helping other international employees feel the same way when receiving them, ensuring they can safely travel or access accommodation, and adapt to the culture in the US. We owe Jean a big thank you for bringing in such vibrant talent from across the world!
