In this short spoken anecdote, the speaker recounts how a homeless job candidate was registered with multiple agencies and ultimately hired after an employee named Bez advocated for him. Bez described the candidate as a "lovely guy" who simply needed a chance. Despite the candidate’s personal hygiene challenges, Bez went so far as to take clothes from her husband and give them to him. She placed him with a client, who reported he was performing well. The candidate’s temporary placement turned into a permanent, full‑time role with the client. The story highlights the impact of compassion, taking risks on vulnerable individuals, and the transformative power of giving someone a second chance.

We placed a candidate this year and he was homeless and he registered with us and he's registered with many agencies. And this one lady that works for me called Bez, she registered him and she said he was just a lovely guy, just needed a chance. And she put him to work and the client said he's doing okay, but clearly homeless, few personal hygiene issues, right? So this is, this is the dirty world we live in. She stole clothes from her husband, who I still don't know if he knows, and gave them to him. And he made, he made a permanent role out of it. So he's now employed full-time by the client. Yeah, that's mega. That's, that's huge.
