As businesses look to strengthen their workforce and the local economies, existing talent and recruitment processes need to be accessible for all job-seekers, including those with criminal records。
In our Uber-competitive economy, companies are finding it increasingly difficult to recruit and retain qualified talent. Unfortunately, the tens of millions of Americans with conviction records are an untapped pool of talent, in large part because of misconceptions about background checks and the conflation of a conviction record with character. Rézme's "Restorative Record" was designed as a technological innovation to help address the discriminatory hiring practices exacerbating the American workforce shortage crisis。
At its core, The Restorative Record collects and organizes accurate contextualized applicant data in the form of a digitally interactive candidate profile。
Contextualization is facilitated by conveying the complexity of these individuals and their stories, along with those of their families, via text, video, and audio-based modalities。
Job-seekers are able to build their digital career capital by requesting personalized video and audio recommendations from trusted and verified sources in their social and professional network。
More than just another job-matching platform!
Micro-credentials and trainings from verified and trusted service providers。
Collaborate with a network of community partners to support the socio-emotional well-being of each candidate。
Maximize the strength and authenticity of your network with more engaging and dynamic recommendations and personal referrals。
Use your Restorative Record to avoid algorithmic bias, keywords, fancy CVs, custom resumes, formatting, and every other artificially created barrier to employment。
Find employment opportunities from second chance employers actively looking to hire you despite your justice involvement。
Job seekers are able to upload relevant certificates, job training, awards, participation in rehabilitation programming, and other experiences to demonstrate socio-emotional, cognitive, and behavioral traits。
Applicants can add video, voice, and photographic content to their digital profile
Embedded video and audio referrals
Personalization via evidence based restorative justice principles
