Brings expertise in the field of immigration based upon decades of experience fighting human trafficking as a Senior Special Agent with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Buffalo, NY — Joblio Inc., the transparent and tech-enabled ethical recruitment platform for foreign talent, today announced the appointment of Mark E. Reimann as Vice President of Government Affairs and US Operations. Reimann, a nearly 30-year veteran with the United States Department of Homeland Security is a highly decorated former Senior Special Agent, who brings to Joblio extensive experience in the field of immigration, human smuggling detection , human trafficking and predatory labor fraud.
A leading investigator in cases involving terrorism, narcotics, money-laundering, and other transnational criminal activities, Reimann has earned top awards from non-governmental organizations as well as from multiple federal agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Drug Enforcement Administration, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office. His work dismantling a smuggling ring between the U.S. and Canada was recognized by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, and his most recent case before joining Joblio involved stopping a complex network of human traffickers that was smuggling Indian nationals into the United States through illegal brokers and corrupt officials.
Reimann brings Joblio a wealth of firsthand knowledge that will benefit refugees and labor migrants globally as they seek to establish better lives and themselves and their families. His deep base of national and international contacts will benefit Joblio as it expands to new countries and business sectors, while his background in all matters of immigration will enable governments, NGOs and employers globally to understand the importance of ethical recruitment.
“I have spent my entire career in the service of others, and I look forward to continuing that through the important work that Joblio is doing in the ethical recruitment of international workers,” Reimann said. “I am truly honored to join the team at Joblio and to put my experience as a Special Agent to use helping our employer and employee clients.”
Joblio, a preeminent leader in international recruiting, is on a mission to redefine the global labor market with a transparent, systematized, and humanized platform that is accessible to workers and employers around the world. As global labor shortages continue to put a strain on supply chains, more employers are looking internationally to add skilled and talented workers to their organizations. Through its proprietary Applicant Concierge Experience (ACE) program, Joblio not only helps workers find foreign employment, it also prepares them to acclimate to their new homes before they even leave their country.
“Mark recognizes the existential threat that human smuggling and trafficking continues to have across the globe,” added Joblio CEO Jon Purizhansky. “He is passionate about leveraging his unique expertise, both domestically and internationally, to ensure that foreign nationals are empowered to achieve the careers and lives they want, unfettered by the corruption and crimes of others.”
Besides his career in law enforcement, Reimann is actively involved in the Taste of Buffalo, the largest two-day food festival in the United States. He serves on the non-profit event’s volunteer Board of Directors and chairs its Security Committee.
