Here are your next group of employees....

DBS vetting seems to be becoming the norm for getting a contracting gig, especially in finance.

From jail to job: why more companies are hiring ex-offenders

More than 82,500 people are in prison across the UK, government figures show, and those set for release face the daunting task of re-entering society and trying to find a job.

They face an uphill battle: half of employers would not consider hiring an ex-offender, regardless of the crime or sentence received, according to a Department for Work and Pensions survey in 2016.

Some say that is shortsighted. As well as helping them to get their lives back on track, reducing the likelihood of re-offending, it allows employers to access a pool of talented and motivated individuals at a time when the skills shortage is making it harder than ever for companies to recruit.
