Americans have a criminal record.
Most of them just need someone to open the door.

SecondShift is an AI hiring agent that matches employers with second-chance talent, navigates compliance, and supports retention through the critical first 90 days.

The gap between intent and action is costing everyone.

Employers say they'll hire people with records. Background check hits, compliance fears, and process friction mean they rarely do. Candidates apply in volume and hear nothing back. The system is broken on both sides.

How SecondShift works

01

Intelligent Matching

AI reads candidate profiles and employer requirements, then generates ranked matches weighted by skills, location, legal considerations, and workplace culture fit.

02

Compliance Navigation

Automatically handles Ban the Box timing, EEOC guidelines, and WOTC tax credit paperwork so employers never have to guess what's legal.

03

90-Day Retention

Post-hire AI check-ins with both employer and employee. Early intervention on issues that typically cause turnover in the first three months.

Employment is the #1 predictor of whether someone stays out.

SecondShift exists because talent shouldn't be wasted and second chances shouldn't depend on who you know. The AI runs 24/7 so nobody falls through the cracks.
