Our Talent Network
We've established a national network of non-profits who refer their justice-involved clients to us so that we can help them find jobs faster. Not only does this feed our large pipeline of talent, but these organizations often provide additional services to help job seekers succeed.
In addition to our non-profit partners, we work with over a thousand Probation and Parole departments across the country.
Our "Pre-Release" app is also available on tablets and computers in jails and prisons across the country. Although the currently incarcerated cannot actually apply, these individuals return to Honest Jobs immediately after their release to find employment with one of our fair-chance employers.
Matching Technology
The Equal Opportunity Employment Commission provides guidelines for assessing if a criminal record should disqualify a candidate for employment. This is done by comparing the nature of a candidate's criminal history with the nature of the job duties.
Each job seeker has voluntarily disclosed their criminal legal record, which enables us to automatically run an analysis, and apply these guidelines once you provide a job description. You can see our analysis and make adjustments if our recommendation does not perfectly match your policy.
Although we will never share information about a candidate's criminal legal history, our technology will help ensure you receive more applications from candidates you can hire and less applications from candidates you are likely unable to hire. This helps our job seekers find employment up to eight times faster.

-
You ask for my criminal history. Who sees that information?We ask for your criminal history as part of your profile. This enables us to show you how compatible (or not) your background is with each role, to reduce wasted time and likelihood of rejection. We do not pass that information on to employers.
-
What convictions are acceptable or unacceptable to your employers?Job seekers with a wide variety of felony convictions have been hired through our platform. Fair-chance employers consider each person on a case-by-case basis, looking beyond the background check, considering the nature of the role, context of the conviction, time since the conviction/release, personal/professional references, rehabilitation efforts, volunteer activities, etc.
