Arkansas Fair-Chance Employer Directory

This directory was built to make second chances real. It brings together employers across all 75 counties in Arkansas, along with statewide anchor companies and national/remote opportunities that consider applicants with a record.

What’s inside:

• County-by-county listings: Each Arkansas county includes local government, school districts, healthcare facilities, and employers verified or reported as willing to consider second-chance applicants.

• Statewide anchors: Major companies like Walmart, Lowe’s, Home Depot, Walgreens, CVS Health, AT&T, Verizon, Georgia-Pacific, J.B. Hunt, and more.

• National & Remote employers: Customer service, healthcare, and tech support jobs that often hire Arkansas residents to work from home.

• Estimated pay ranges: Every listing includes a starting and typical hourly wage range (based on Arkansas wage data and employer job postings).

• Transparency first: Each listing notes whether hiring practices are verified (SCBC member, public statement, or reentry partnership) or need further confirmation.

How to use it:

• Use the search bar or filters to find employers in your county or browse remote opportunities.

• Click the employer link to go directly to their application page.

• Pay ranges are provided as estimates but remember to always confirm with current postings.

This tool was created by the Arkansas Restorative Initiative (ARI) to break down barriers, increase transparency, and connect people with real opportunities for employment and stability after incarceration.
