Honest Jobs is the nation’s largest fair chance employment website boasting more than 331,000 job postings from over 1,300 companies (15 of the Fortune 500) across the nation who believe in second chance hiring. Access to Honest Jobs is available on ViaPath Technologies’ Inspire® tablets to help incarcerated individuals increase their chances of securing employment upon release.
ViaPath recognizes that unemployment is strongly related to recidivism, which is why we’ve partnered with Honest Jobs to make a major impact on securing employment for our returning citizens.
Honest Jobs is dedicated to helping returning citizens rebuild their lives with a sense of pride and security. Through working with certified felony-friendly employers they decrease the average time for job placement from over 200 days to 28 days and nearly triple the average rate of pay.
With Honest Jobs’ unique algorithm, each job search analyzes thousands of job descriptions and takes into consideration each user’s skill set and unique criminal history. Each job listing displays a “ConflixAI Score” which shows how compatible a job is with a job seeker’s specific background, resulting in a much quicker path to employment.
ViaPath and Honest Jobs recognize that securing employment is just one of the building blocks to successful reintegration. Through this partnership, returning citizens and their friends and family will have access to a national and localized resource center for additional support in areas such as, housing, transportation, legal, and more.
Honest Jobs’ job board is available for free on the ViaPath Inspire® tablets. Upon release, returning citizens can pick up where they left off directly through their website:
