Disclaimer: This list is a starting point compiled from community resources and may be out of date. Hiring policies vary by company, franchise, location, role, and the nature and recency of an offense — no company on this list has a guaranteed second-chance policy. Always confirm directly with the employer before relying on any listing here. A few entries (e.g. Glass Door, Job Golem, Jobs 2 Careers, Jobs On-line) are job-search tools rather than employers.

Publicly verified second-chance employers from the White House Fair Chance Business Pledge and the Second Chance Business Coalition that also appear above include: AT&T, Aramark, Chick-fil-A, Chipotle, Cintas, Greyhound, Hilton, The Home Depot, IHOP, KFC, Kroger, Marriott, McDonald's, Subway, Taco Bell, Target, Tyson Foods, and Wendy's. Policies still vary by franchise and location.
