Give your candidates a voice

If you operate in an area that has adopted ban-the-box laws, there are specific regulations about how to handle criminal records in the decision process. Candidate Stories fits seamlessly into the process and is a solid first step to help ensure compliance for your company.

Roughly one-third of Americans have a criminal record. Hiring policies that exclude people with records from employment often lead employers to overlook massive pools of qualified talent. Candidate Stories can help you source a larger prospect pool.

Blanket bans on hiring people with criminal charges can disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minorities, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Candidate Stories is a valuable tool for companies committed to building a more diverse and equitable workforce.

The fair chance hiring movement is growing quickly, and many values-based companies believe that a criminal record should not mean a life sentence of unemployment or underemployment. Candidate Stories puts that belief into action, helping thousands of candidates get hired every year.
