Background check support for reformed individuals

Build a service that helps people with criminal records navigate job applications and background checks. It would provide guidance on disclosure and legal rights.

Why now

More companies are open to hiring reformed individuals, but the process remains daunting for applicants.

Who for
People with criminal records
Business model
Premium guides and coaching
Effort
A few weeks

People with past convictions struggle with job applications due to unclear disclosure rules and employer biases.

Offer a platform with state-by-state legal guidance, template responses for applications, and employer education resources.

Job seekers would pay for premium templates and coaching, while employers could subscribe for training on fair hiring practices.

Start with a simple guide to disclosure laws in top states, then add coaching sessions.

Risk: Employers may not change hiring practices despite the resources.
