Fair Shake Jobs is more than just a job board—it’s a lifeline for people ready to rebuild their lives after incarceration. We’re here to make the hiring process easier, fairer, and more inclusive for formerly incarcerated individuals looking for a fresh start.
We connect job seekers with employers who believe in second chances. It’s that simple. Our mission is to lower the country’s prison recidivism rate by opening doors to real opportunities—jobs that lead to stability, self-respect, and brighter futures.
The truth is, finding work with a record isn’t easy. In fact, it’s one of the biggest hurdles people face after prison. Without stable jobs, many end up right back where they started.
A U.S. Department of Justice study found that 82% of people released from state prisons are rearrested within 10 years. Nearly half are rearrested in the first year alone. That’s not just a statistic—it’s a cycle that’s hard to break.
Our founder, Kenny C., knows this struggle firsthand. As someone with a felony conviction, he faced rejection often. He realized the system wasn’t built to help people like him succeed. Instead of accepting it, he built Fair Shake Jobs—a platform that levels the playing field for people who need it most.
Fair Shake Jobs connects job seekers with felon-friendly employers nationwide.

For Employers:
We don’t just list jobs. We give people the tools and support they need to land them—and keep them.
We’re not just helping people find work. We’re helping them rebuild their lives.
Nobody should be defined by their past mistakes. A job isn’t just a paycheck—it’s dignity, stability, and a chance to move forward.
We’ve seen how lives can change when employers take a chance on someone who’s ready to work hard and prove themselves. And we’ve seen how much stronger communities become when people get those chances.
We plan on helping thousands of job seekers find fair chance employment. From warehouse workers to web developers, the success stories will keep coming. Employers will tell us how these hires bring dedication, fresh perspectives, and a drive to succeed.
Every time someone lands a job through Fair Shake Jobs, it’s another step toward breaking the cycle of incarceration and rebuilding lives.
