ReachOut is a platform designed to bridge the gap between organizations helping ex-offenders and employers who are open to second-chance hiring. Based on our research, we know many ex-offenders face barriers re-entering society, even though they often possess the skills, motivation, and dedication to succeed. At the same time, many employers are currently facing labor shortages despite the valuable talent pool that is available. Our platform seeks to provide a solution to both those problems.

Our Vision

Our mission is simple: to reduce recidivism and encourage individuals to rebuild their lives by offering an intuitive, data-driven platform that automatically connects qualified candidates with employers. Through our program, employers can easily connect with nonprofits dedicated to reintegrating ex-offenders with a complete resource database to help them make informed hiring decisions.

Key Features

• Employer Database: A comprehensive database of companies open to second-chance hiring practices; searchable by industry, location, and job type.
• Candidate Profiles: Secure profiles for candidates, managed by organizations to showcase their skills, experience, and readiness for work.
• AI-Driven Job-Matching: AI to connect candidates with the best job opportunities based on their skills, experience, and preferences.
• Integrated Communication: In-app messaging that enables organizations and employers to communicate efficiently, track hiring progress, and share necessary documents.
• Legal Guidance: Up-to-date information on tax incentives, legal guidelines, and HR best practices related to second-chance hiring.

Why This Matters

We are passionate about creating a positive social and economic impact with this platform. Each successful hire represents a step towards reduced recidivism, stronger community bonds, and a more diverse workforce. By investing in second-chance hiring, you’re not just giving someone a job–you’re helping build a better, more equitable society.

What’s Next?

As development continues, we look forward to building a network of partners who share our vision of bettering lives through employment opportunities. We welcome your feedback and partnership to ensure our platform is as effective as possible. Let’s work together to make second chances a reality for thousands of deserving individuals!
