One platform, two missions

HireBack serves both sides of the hiring equation because real change requires both.

For Job Seekers

Find employers who see your future, not your past

Search verified fair-chance employers by location, industry, and trade. No guessing which companies will give you a shot.

  • Search fair-chance jobs by city and trade
  • Filter by industry: construction, logistics, food service, tech
  • Access reentry resources and training programs
  • Know your rights under Ban the Box laws
For Employers

Hire great people. Get paid for it.

Most employers don't know they can save thousands per second-chance hire. HireBack shows you every program you qualify for and helps you claim them.

  • See estimated savings before you hire
  • Browse all federal, state, and local incentive programs
  • Access pre-screened, motivated candidates
  • Get help filing for WOTC and Federal Bonding

Programs most employers don't know exist

Billions in tax credits and incentives go unclaimed every year. HireBack puts them all in one place.

Work Opportunity Tax Credit

Up to $9,600/hire

Federal tax credit for hiring from 10 targeted groups, including ex-felons. 40% of first $6,000 in wages.

Federal Bonding Program

$5,000 free coverage

Free fidelity bond insurance for the first 6 months. Zero cost, zero deductible. Removes the risk objection entirely.

State Reentry Credits

Varies by state

Illinois offers a 5% wage credit. Iowa offers 65% wage deduction. Every state has programs. HireBack finds them all.

"Individuals employed within two months of reentry are half as likely to reoffend as those who are unemployed."

The hiring gap costs everyone. HireBack closes it.

A platform where doing the right thing is also the smart business move. That's what second chances should look like.
