The collaborative approach between InCheck and TWO will showcase how company education on best practices and background screening contribute to fair chance hiring. Real-world examples and case studies of organizations benefitting from this collaboration will be presented, demonstrating the practical impact of such initiatives. The subsequent sections outline the benefits of fair chance hiring and flexibility in the hiring process. We will conclude our presentation by addressing future trends and opportunities in fair chance hiring, encouraging Q&A.
