Kelly Services: Kelly 33 Second Chance Program

Kelly Services, a national staffing firm, has embraced Second Chance Hiring through its Kelly 33 Second Chances Program: https://www.kellyservices.com/global/about-us/equity-at-work/kelly-33/

Recognizing that one in three working-age Americans has a criminal record, Kelly 33 actively recruits candidates who are often overlooked, particularly those with nonviolent and non-relevant offenses. Their approach improves both individual outcomes and business performance.

Key benefits of the program include:

  • Connecting employers with motivated talent looking for a fresh start
  • Enhancing retention and reliability among new hires
  • Driving bottom-line impact while supporting workforce equity

Kelly 33 showcases how inclusive hiring can be a win-win, helping employers fill roles with dedicated workers and giving justice-impacted individuals a true second chance
