In this episode of Tap’d Talks HR, Anthony sits down with Jacob Hill, an ex-prisoner and Founder of Offploy, a specialist HR consultancy, to unpack how organisations can confidently and fairly employ people with convictions. Jacob reframes common assumptions with eye-opening context (e.g. one in four UK adults of working age has a criminal record, many for minor offences), shares his own rehabilitation story, and explains why fair-chance hiring boosts retention, social value, and talent pipelines. You’ll hear practical steps for HR and leaders: how to update policy and language, design risk-based assessments, prepare hiring managers for disclosures, and build a culture that welcomes socially excluded talent, without lowering standards. Whether you’re starting out or ready to deepen your approach, this conversation shows how doing the right thing can also be the smart thing for your organisation.
