Why hire from Working Chance?

A conviction is no legal barrier to offering someone a job. When you employ a Working Chance candidate, it’s good to know that:

  • People with convictions are more reliable and stay longer in their jobs than anyone else, according to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development.
  • Employees are proud to work for organisations that help people get back on their feet: Marks and Spencer reported that hiring people with convictions increased morale and motivation among staff.
  • You are demonstrating your commitment to workplace diversity, challenging prejudice and creating great opportunities for positive media coverage
  • You’ve kept a woman out of prison, transformed her children’s lives, increased their achievement at school and helped to break the intergenerational cycle of deprivation and crime.

Here's how we work

  1. Once we have your job description, we break down the skills and experience you need and the kind of person you're after. 

    With an appreciation of your company culture, we select the most closely matched candidates from our pool of talent.

  2. We invite your selected candidates for interview and, if required, our consultants can support you in the assessment process. 

    Once you've found the right candidate, we can help with contracts and any other support you feel you need.

  3. After the hire, we check in regularly with both candidate and employer to ensure things are running smoothly. 

    We are here to support both our candidates and your company. You can call us at any time, as we encourage ongoing dialogue to discuss both concerns and successes.
