Believe it or not, those with records do well on the job

Several years ago, I launched 70 Million Jobs a YC company that was the first employment platform for people with records. Our launch announcement was, at the time, one of the most popular on HN.

At first, human resource departments thought I was nuts, but eventually they came around, and we turned profitable. Unfortunately, our timing wasn't so good because that coincided with the onset of Covid, when companies laid off tens of millions of workers.I tried holding out, but it took years to normalize. I had no choice but to shut down. That announcement (and the support it engendered also was enormous.)

I've continued with this work, and now am helping run a very similar staffing company, a division of a much larger business, 2C Workforce Solutions (2CCareers.com). I'll get to the point:

If you or anyone you know are in need of workers anywhere in the US, we can help. Studies have shown that those with records "are as good as--if not better than--those with no records." As a staffing company, we remain their employer and handle all the paperwork, payroll, taxes, etc. And of course, there's the very important social good being done.

If you've got (or can connect me to) a company that's got at least 100 employees, I'd very much appreciate the opportunity to connect. And for all of the incredible support, enthusiasm and great ideas in the past, thanks HN community!
