Partnership news: Summer 2024
After several months of due diligence and focused discussion, we have invited nGAGE (the BridgeOfHope.careers portal people) to be our partner in showcasing Fair Chance Employers’ jobs, as well as offering Fair Chance Candidates resources to aid their search and applications.
Bridge of Hope was built on co-founder and CEO Michael Corrigan’s previous business, Europe’s largest recruitment platform for people with criminal records.

The vital nature of this work is underpinned by the base statistics of both ex-offender employment (less than one in five are in work within six months of leaving prison) and unemployment generally being at ongoing record lows despite nearly one million job vacancies!”
