Bridging the Gap Between Talent & Opportunity
We make hiring second-chance talent simple - ensuring businesses and job seekers are equally set up for success.
A job is more than a pay check - it’s stability, dignity, and the chance to rebuild. But for many, the path to employment is filled with roadblocks. That’s where Rise comes in.
By partnering with nonprofits, businesses and community leaders, we remove those barriers and create direct pathways to meaningful work.
Whether it’s a veteran transitioning back into civilian life, a trafficking survivor reclaiming their future, or a returning citizen determined to break the cycle, we provide the structure and support to make success possible.
How It Works
-
Step 1: Connecting with Nonprofit Partners
We start by working with trusted nonprofit partners - organizations that serve individuals seeking a fresh start. From shelters to workforce training programs, these groups help us identify motivated job seekers ready for stable employment. By engaging with people at this pivotal stage, we ensure candidates have the support, guidance and resources needed to step confidently into the workforce.
-
Step 2: Preparing Candidates For Success
Once referred, candidates go through a readiness assessment and job-matching process to align their skills and goals with the right opportunities. We also provide training and interview coaching, covering workplace expectations, communication and professional growth strategies. By the time they apply, candidates are prepared to step into their new roles with confidence.
-
Step 3: Matching Candidates with Employers
After preparing candidates for success, we connect them with businesses that value second-chance hiring. We work directly with employers to ensure a smooth hiring process, from interview scheduling to onboarding support. Whether it’s a position in retail, logistics, administration or skilled trades - our goal is to place individuals in career-track jobs where they can thrive.
-
Step 4: Ongoing Support For Long-Term Success
A successful job placement is just the beginning. We provide ongoing mentorship, retention check-ins, and career coaching to ensure that both employees and businesses thrive. This continued support leads to higher retention rates, stronger teams and lasting career growth - creating a ripple effect of stability and success.
