Want to support second-chance hiring? ✅ Remove unnecessary background checks. ✅ Partner with community orgs. ✅ Say “yes” to pre-vetted candidates. We’ve built the system—now we need employers who’ll use it. @SHRM @jfftweets @TheJustTrust @SecondChanceBiz

This is what walking the talk looks like. Second-chance hiring isn’t an edge case—it’s the future of real DEI. We’re building that future in San Francisco, one intake, one resume, and one hire at a time. Respect, @TheJustTrust & @SHRM. 👏
