Ever heard of the "Second Chance Advantage"? 🌟 In today's talent battlefield, obsessing over the "perfect candidate" can stunt growth. Here at Lakeshore Talent, we've been busy revolutionizing how we view talent acquisition, and encouraging our clients to do the same! Dropping rigid hiring criteria and embracing diverse backgrounds and unconventional resumes often uncover hidden gems who are ready to shine. Here's why second chances matter.

In fact, 62% of U.S. professionals have at least one significant break in their career (Source: LinkedIn). People who've stepped off the ladder often bring fresh perspectives and adaptive skills desperately needed in today's ever-evolving tech landscape. Driving innovation starts by opening doors, not closing them. Let's embrace diversity of experience and give people a second chance to shine.
