CASE STUDY
"We started out as a roadside assistance provider in the early '90s,
but we transitioned over the years into a technology solutions
company," says Jo Ann Rainwater, senior HR generalist at Asurion.
That transformation is a familiar story for companies that have
triumphed across the rocky waters of the internet age and
subsequent digital boom. The support tech provider pegs itself as
"life's operating system" and rightly so. With 17,000 employees in
its offices in the United States, Brazil, Japan, Australia, China and
France, Asurion has connected the globe through technology.
"You've seen the commercials on TV, where the family's going on
vacation and the dad says: 'Did we shut the lights off? Did we turn
the air down? Did we lock the doors?' And they do it all from their
phones," Rainwater says. "We are the company that is technical
support for consumers trying to connect every electronic gadget
in their house." Tech companies driving new and innovative
solutions often source the best associates from around the world
to help them reach their business needs and goals. Asurion
ensures it's not limited by geography.
Early Days as an Immigration
Practitioner
Employment-based immigration isn't taught in most human
resource management degree programs. It's on-the-job
learning that equips recruiters and HR managers with the skills
to sponsor foreign nationals for various work visas. Rainwater
herself jumped into immigration head first. In July 2015, she
joined Asurion and immediately began managing the firm's
corporate immigration program.
