Fair Chance Recruiting Services
Our team works closely with you to understand your hiring needs. As justice-involved candidates apply through our platform, our recruiters conduct thorough screenings to ensure their qualifications, reliable transportation, and alignment with your job requirements. We only recommend the highest-quality candidates for your consideration.
If you hire one of our candidates, you pay a placement fee equal to 10% of the candidate’s first years pay. We support you throughout the onboarding process and beyond to ensure successful retention. If the candidate doesn’t work out within the first 90 days, we provide a replacement or a full refund.

Job Matching Technology

Our Conflix system helps ensure a better match between job seekers and job postings by considering the conviction history provided by the job seeker and the job description provided by the employer. The system reads the job description and identifies potential conflicts based on the candidate’s background.
If a job seeker’s conviction directly conflicts with the job duties, they receive a visual indication that the job may not be a good match for them. While job seekers can choose to apply for any job, our system helps them focus on positions where they have the highest likelihood of passing the background check process, as outlined by the EEOC.

How do you/we vet candidates with criminal records?Our Conflix system streamlines the job matching process by evaluating the conviction history provided by the job seeker in relation to the job description. The system analyzes the job description to identify any potential conflicts with the candidate’s background. If a conviction is found to directly conflict with the job duties, the job seeker receives a visual indication that the position may not be a good fit. This feature helps job seekers focus on opportunities where they have a higher likelihood of passing the background check process, as outlined by the EEOC. While job seekers are free to apply for any job, Conflix aims to guide them towards roles where they are most likely to succeed. After that, the hiring process is in your hands. Some employers on our platform conduct background checks, while others do not.
