Building on what we learned in our fair chance hiring cohort, we observed barriers vendors encounter when bringing fair chance staff to client sites. Client contracts often restrict vendors from placing employees on-site who have criminal backgrounds, creating an additional hurdle for vendor companies to consider when hiring fair chance talent.
We will document the practices that contribute to this problem, identify organizations and industry groups that are open to amending their contracting language, and work with those employers and groups to adopt “fair chance-friendly” contracting agreements.
