Space is the Place
Not ready to do anything yet but I own a small business and hopefully this year I can quit my main job and go full time. If I get a couple more big accounts I need to hire one or two people though this probably won't happen until the second half of 2017 earliest.
I want to hire people from our community, especially the ones who are good workers that others won't hire. I am thinking of giving people a chance regardless of their felony background etc. but need some ideas on how to screen the good from the bad.
I have family members who did time so I know some are knuckleheads that will never change while others want to try to rebuild their life and stay out of trouble. How do I find the latter type? Parole violation records, non-profit groups, churches? Official prison job placement programs? Any advice is welcome.
