The Next Step is very different from typical Reentry programs and solutions. We spend a lot of time explaining how we work and how you can benefit and decided to comprise a short list of tips for ultimate success in 2014!

1. Enroll everyone.  Your agency needs to enroll everyone who comes through your facility. Determine the best point in your intake process for this to occur to save time. Larger numbers of enrollments increase the success of our service and quality of matched leads.

2.  Report all jobs.  We need you to report all jobs obtained of all your clients.  Our service relies on your agency enrolling every eligible candidate and reporting jobs for every eligible candidate.  These may be jobs that did not come from our leads.  As a company who hires one ex-felon often will hire another in the future, it is important to keep growing the database with companies we may not have reached with our marketing.  The stronger the database, the more jobs will come from it.  We need these reports on a regular basis to ensure companies that are hiring your clients are completing all paperwork necessary and meeting the 28-day deadline to qualify for the tax credit, which is a key motivator to hire from our candidates again.

3.  Communicate.  We need feedback on the leads we send you!  If a company has moved or closed, please let us know.  If an individual needs more leads, let us know.  If you will be on vacation and need to send your job reports the following week, let us know. You are our client and we are here to help you get the best results possible! 

This is a very simple process and we're here to better help your clients and ultimately be a resource for you and your agency.
