Companies That Hire Felons

There are plenty of places where you can apply to get a job. The first place you may want to look is with a temp agency like Adecco, Aramark, All Team Staffing, Customer Driven Staffing, Resource MFG, MVP Staffing, Kelly Services, Expresspros, Dillard & Associates Staffing, or Elite Staffing. Such temp agencies can offer quick work since they partner with companies that may not run background checks and don’t mind hiring felons. And if you do a good enough job on your gig, you may get hired as a full-time employee.

If you don’t want to take the temp agency route, here are some places that have been known to hire people with a felony on their record:
