Like a credit score, but for employment

An evidence-based score to identify good candidates with conviction records

Your hiring manager finds a good candidate. But the background check reveals a conviction record. The Bushway Opportunity Score uses science to quickly and fairly identify people who are ready to work.

This approach, developed by Dr. Shawn Bushway, has already been used in EEOC-approved settlements by large US companies. The scale replaces cumbersome matrices and minimizes the need for costly individualized assessments.
