Description
Experts estimate that there are seventy- to one hundred-million Americans with an arrest record - that's one in three citizens. Fair chance hiring is a philosophy that encourages you to go beyond the background check - and inquire about individual stories that help us see applicants as complete and complex people. The benefits to your business are significant - fill positions faster, gain loyal employees and build a culture of inclusion that benefits everyone - not just those with an arrest record. Our guest Ken Oliver, Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility at Checkr and Executive Director of the Checkr Foundation, shares his wisdom and know-how around implementing fair chance hiring in the tech sector and beyond.
