VGM Homelink says it will add 30 jobs by year’s end [Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, Iowa]

Sept. 28--WATERLOO -- More jobs are coming to Waterloo-based VGM Group Inc.

On Friday, VGM said it had secured a new contract out of Minnesota that will lead to an anticipated 38 percent increase in business, which will lead to 30 new positions by the end of the year at Homelink, the company's managed care division.

The company contracts with insurance companies to provide home medical equipment, home nursing, and other ancillary health services through its network of 7,000 providers across the U.S.

The company is hiring with an eye on long-term growth potential, said Jason Sadler, associate vice president of operations and administration.

"Our other business has grown 12 percent in the last year, and there are new projects on the horizon," he said in a news release.

The company said it needs people who possess an ability to multitask under pressure, who can communicate professionally via email and on the telephone and who have strong customer service skills.

New hires will go through a five-week training course, the company said.

"We look for a personality type, not initials behind someone's name," Sadler said. "Our employees must work well with others and have the attitude that the impossible can be accomplished for a patient referral."

Homelink is the largest company in the VGM Group's network, Sadler said.

VGM Group is 100 percent employee-owned.
