case manager matching is how it still works today
People in recovery want to work. Employers need workers. The system between them is manual, slow, and broken.
Recovery centers submit candidate profiles. Skills, availability, location, recovery milestones. No resumes needed.
SecondRound's AI identifies employers open to second-chance hiring. It handles outreach, educates them on WOTC tax credits, and builds the relationship.
The agent matches candidates to open roles, coordinates interviews, and tracks placement outcomes. It works 24/7 so people don't have to wait.
Employers who hire through WOTC-eligible programs receive up to $9,600 per hire in tax credits. Most never apply because the paperwork is a nightmare. SecondRound handles that too.
One recovery center. Dozens of candidates. Hundreds of potential employers in a 50-mile radius. An AI agent that never sleeps, never forgets a follow-up, never lets someone fall through the cracks.
The Work Opportunity Tax Credit gives you $2,400 – $9,600 per qualifying hire. People in recovery, returning citizens, and veterans all qualify. SecondRound surfaces matched candidates from these groups — and no competitor does this.
SecondRound exists because second chances shouldn't depend on who you know or which nonprofit has bandwidth this month. We're building the infrastructure so every person in recovery has a clear path to employment, and every employer willing to hire them can be found.
