The case for second chance hiring
StaffNow Cares is a 501(c)3 non profit organization created to connect background friendly employers with those who want to work and need a second chance.
Our purpose is to encourage employers to give those with a criminal background a second chance at creating a better life for themselves and their loved ones through gainful employment.
Contributions make our work possible. Every donation provides someone seeking a second chance with assistance to become gainfuly employed!
The untapped labor pool employers need to consider
More than 80 million Americans have a background challenge. That’s a quarter of the entire U.S. population. In a hypercompetitive economy, where companies struggle to identify strong candidates at all levels of their operations, too many employers are missing out on qualified talent in this huge segment of the U.S. population.

Progress leaves fewer people behind
The professional world does not reflect an absolute, black and white reality. Life is complex. As advocates for these underserved groups, we show our clients their economic value when considering this underutilize talent source.
We must look at the nature of offenses, how long ago the infraction occurred, and if their crimes are even considered criminal anymore. As staffing experts, recruiters, and leaders in HR, we get to know people and what truly motivates them.
Stable employment greatly reduces recidivism rates among former convicts. Second chance hires are a way to enhance your workforce and your growing communities.
