Careers
Our philosophy is to hire talented individuals, give them the tools and resources they need to perform their jobs, provide them with training and mentoring opportunities, challenge them, and reward them for delivering their best efforts for our clients. We value our employees because they provide the exceptional client service, critical and inventive thinking, and collaborative approach JBS is known for.
JBS Walks the Talk
One gauge of a firm’s success is its employee retention rate; another is what employees say about their employer. A 2007 survey conducted by HumanR, Inc., an organizational development company, showed that JBS had a 91.4 percent retention rate compared with an industry (other Federal contractors) average of 81.9 percent. As HumanR put it, “Turnover at JBS is substantially less than in the industry as a whole.”
Why Work at JBS
To learn how our employees view us, we recently asked them why they work at JBS. Here’s what some of them had to say:
Marcia (22 years of service and JBS’s FIRST employee): “When I was a student, I always used to ask: ‘Am I ever going to use this stuff when I grow up? Math? Writing? Geography? Sociology? Economics? Political-Science?’ Well, guess what? In the 21 years I’ve been at JBS, I’ve gotten to use—and further develop—my skills in all those and many other areas. Every new challenge tickles another area of brain cells—that’s what keeps my batteries charged with every new day.”
Jennifer (4 years of service): “Because some of my closest friends work here, and I didn't even know it until I met them!”
Barbara (4 years of service): “JBS provides me the support I need to do my job with the flexibility I value for job satisfaction. The company is dedicated to improving lives—those of its customers as well as its workers.”
Isaac (1 year of service): “I work at JBS because the effects of our efforts are always worthwhile. The benefits are great too!”
Mark (2 years of service): “It’s an opportunity to work among a team of intelligent, productive, and dedicated colleagues for clients striving to make a difference. Initiative is encouraged, and integrity is rewarded here.”
Jo Ann (12 years of service): “JBS is a great place to work. It’s a supportive environment, which is responsive to new ideas and implementing projects that meet client needs for high-quality standards.”
Trammell (6 years of service): “JBS International offers a great opportunity for professional growth while working on a given project and within the company. JBS has a healthy diversity of ages and ethnic and social backgrounds as well as an open-door policy with upper management. Its informal environment has drawn many dedicated people with a wealth of experience, skills, and advanced degrees.”
