Our Mission
We at Reference Hive are garnered to help individuals seeking potential employment opportunities by bridging the gap to a new future. We can also help individuals in the reentry population access job opportunities that may have been previously unavailable to them due to their criminal history. By partnering with employers who are willing to consider candidates with less skill set or criminal records. Reference Hive can help open up a wider range of employment options. Our online profile platform partners with social service agencies and workforce development programs that are seeking employment from many sectors of life.
Our Vision
- Positive Reinforcement – We believe that having a strong network of supporters that leave positive references, will increase an individual’s self-esteem and call forth from them greater contributions.
- Education – We believe in building a culture that values the education and training of our community for better end results.
- Accountability – We believe our platform has been built with each individual in mind, to aid in making their decisions and being authentic in every relationship while creating their personal brand.
- Innovation – We believe you can only build an adaptable organization with adaptable people. Our team strives to accept the change within social recruiting in order to meet the needs of this population.
- Problem-Solving – We believe that having a professional online profile and resume will help in decreasing the unemployment challenges we face today.
- Reduced recidivism – Employment is a key factor in reducing recidivism rates among individuals with criminal records. By helping the reentry population secure employment, we can help reduce the likelihood of individuals returning to the criminal justice system.
