Everyone deserves a second chance — that’s why @sbagov NEEDS to allow small business owners on probation to apply for life-saving PPP loans. Thank you @marcorubio @senatorcardin @senrobportman for taking on this issue 🙏

A7.2 Recruiting & hiring are challenging, there is no magic 8 ball. In terms of negligence, don’t be negligent - the bar is pretty low for this. As for risk, hire the best person for the job - that includes a proper individualized assessment. We can help! #SecondChanceMonth
