About Honest Jobs

 

Honest Jobs is the nation’s largest fair chance employment platform, helping people with criminal records find better jobs faster.

​

Founded in 2018 by Harley Blakeman, who personally experienced the challenges of reentry after incarceration, Honest Jobs was created to level the playing field for millions of justice-involved individuals who want to work and contribute to their communities.

​

Since then, our platform has helped more than 210,000 job seekers connect with 350,000+ fair chance job opportunities nationwide. We also partner with correctional facilities, reentry organizations, and workforce programs to make reentry planning and employment support more effective and efficient.

​

Our suite of tools includes the Fair Chance Job Board for justice-involved job seekers and background-friendly employers, Reentry Navigator for reentry and community corrections professionals, and Reentry Planner for incarcerated individuals. Together, these tools bridge the gap between incarceration and employment, providing the support and structure needed for successful reentry.

​

At Honest Jobs, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their past.
