Some of the most common reasons that people choose to hire ex-felons are;

• Very affordable, undervalued labour,
• they make up some of the best sales and customer service experts in the country,
• they can be exceptionally dedicated and loyal employees and
• Government incentives.

Plus, you’ll create life-giving opportunities for people who want nothing more than to earn an honest wage.

Some employers simply don’t want to know. In many cases ex-felons keep their head down at work and use their past experience to detect and prevent others in their workplace making the same mistakes they had.

Some crimes block career choices.
Working with children and security clearance jobs are the obvious examples.

Some employers are simply not comfortable with having an ex-felon in their team. Others can manage it.

As a matter of principle, when a MACRO consultant detects an ex-felon who has lied about their incarceration they immediately reject their application.
If they have been upfront and they are the best person for the role then they present their application, warts and all to the employer.
