That’s one of the many reasons Karen is so passionate about People Like You referrals. In fact, since she was hired in late 2021 as an admin associate, close to 10 of Karen’s referrals have been hired by Averitt. “When you come to a company that’s debt-free and on firm, solid ground, it makes a huge difference,” says Karen, who worked in the retail field for some time and had previous dispatch experience with Fulton County 911. “I talk to all kinds of people.

I try to steer clear of the ones who hop around. Our turnover rate here is really low. That’s all about relationships and getting to know who your people are.
