There are currently 2 million people in U.S. prisons, giving the nation the title of the world's leader in incarceration, with each year seeing over 640,000 people leave prison seeking to become contributing members of society. However, they often face an uphill battle due to their criminal history and are overlooked for job opportunities. To address this issue, Checkr aims to educate the business community on the benefits of fair chance hiring, which has been proven to reduce recidivism rates and create economic growth by giving system-impacted individuals a fair opportunity to be employed. Fair chance hiring is built on the premise that everyone, regardless of their background, has the right to be fairly assessed for a role in which they are qualified, opening up a wider talent pool and leading to higher retention rates and better business outcomes. By employing people with criminal histories, companies not only help to create a more open and welcoming workforce but also contribute to reducing recidivism rates and creating economic growth, as shown by the nearly half reduction in recidivism rates for individuals with conviction histories who have full-time employment compared to those who are unemployed.
