Community referral partners

You help them get stable. We help them get employed.

Recovery residences, reentry programs, ministries, shelters, treatment and community-care providers, case managers, workforce programs, and other organizations can refer work-ready people to Revalis. We take the employment side from there — preparation, realistic employer matching, and early retention support.

Refer Someone Become a Referral Partner
$0No fee to the candidate or referring organization. Revalis is paid by the employer when a successful direct-hire placement is made under an employer agreement.
01

Refer with permission

Share only basic contact and work-readiness information after the candidate agrees to be contacted by Revalis.

02

Prepare the candidate

Revalis works on resume, interview readiness, job targeting, transportation planning, and practical employment barriers.

03

Match realistically

We focus referrals on employers and positions where the candidate has a genuine opportunity to be considered.

04

Support retention

After a successful hire, Revalis provides 30/60/90-day support designed to catch solvable problems early.

Refer someone to Revalis

This page does not submit the referral to a website database. It prepares an email addressed to Revalis for you to review before sending.

Email Revalis Directly

Referral does not guarantee placement or employment. Revalis decides whether and when to make an employer referral, and the employer makes the final hiring decision.

Your referral email is ready.
Open Email App

Privacy by design: A referring organization should share only the minimum information needed to make the employment connection. Sensitive criminal-history or personal information is handled separately and directly with the candidate when appropriate. Revalis does not require a partner to send a resident’s treatment, recovery, supervision, or case-management records.

Your Get Ready Path

Not sure where to start? Start here.

You don’t need to have everything figured out. Revalis helps you get application-ready one clear step at a time — from rebuilding your work history to creating your resume and moving forward with confidence.

✓ One stop · Official resources · No sensitive numbers collected here

Rebuild your work history

Start with an IRS Wage & Income Transcript for reported W-2 and 1099 information. Your free Social Security Statement can help confirm yearly earnings, but it does not list employer names. If you need employer-by-employer SSA history, use the detailed earnings request.

IRS Wage Records ↗ SSA Yearly Earnings ↗ Detailed SSA History ↗

Replace important identity documents

Use official government pages to start replacing the documents employers and agencies may ask you to present. Birth certificates come from the state or territory where you were born, while driver's licenses and state IDs are replaced through your state motor-vehicle agency.

Birth Certificate ↗ Social Security Card ↗ Driver's License / State ID ↗

Know your I-9 document options

New employees must establish identity and employment authorization. The official I-9 list shows which documents can be used. You choose from the acceptable options; an employer should not require one specific document if other valid choices are allowed.

Official I-9 + Document List ↗

Get tax and payroll information

Need old tax records, prior-year wage information or help understanding the form used for federal paycheck withholding? Go straight to the IRS resources instead of hunting through unofficial websites.

Tax Transcripts ↗ Form W-4 ↗
Revalis tip: Government records are a starting point, not always a complete application history. Compare them with old resumes, pay stubs, bank deposits, email, tax files and contacts you trust. Write down employer name, city, job title, approximate start/end month and year, and what you did there.

Privacy first: this checklist never asks you to type your Social Security number, birth date, bank account number or other sensitive document numbers. Use the linked official government sites for those tasks.

Ready for Work

What would help you walk in ready?

Job readiness is more than a resume. Clothing, work shoes, transportation, documents, childcare, phone access and basic equipment can all affect whether someone can start and keep a job. Revalis helps members spot those needs early and make a plan.

Are you an organization that can remove an employment barrier?

Revalis is looking for referral relationships with programs that can help candidates with clothing, transportation, documents, training, childcare, communication, tools, housing stability and other job-readiness needs.

Talk Partnership

Resource accuracy: Revalis links to official organization or government pages whenever possible. Services, funding, eligibility, inventory and availability can change, so candidates should confirm current details directly with the provider before relying on a service.

Background readiness

Know what may show up before the employer does.

Your record, your credit, and your story should not catch you by surprise. Revalis helps you review information you choose to provide, spot possible mistakes, and prepare to explain your history clearly before an interview.

Knowing is key.
🔐

Private Background Disclosure

Save non-expunged criminal-history information you voluntarily choose to provide in a private vault. Saving is private; sharing with Revalis is a separate choice.

Candidate-provided information only. Do not enter expunged or sealed records. Do not enter an arrest that did not lead to a charge or conviction unless you specifically want help understanding a record you believe may still appear. Never enter a Social Security number, full birth date, driver’s-license number, bank information, or identity-document number.
💳

Know Your Credit

Some employers may review credit information through an employment background report. Check your own reports first so you can spot and dispute mistakes.

Third-Party Screening Support

A future optional service may connect candidates with an established professional screening provider so they can better understand a formal employment background report.

Future option · Not yet available
Revalis will not independently compile or certify a candidate’s criminal-history report. If this feature launches, any formal report will be handled through an appropriate third-party screening provider with the required disclosure, authorization, privacy, and dispute procedures.

Preparation, not a background-check certification: Information entered in My Revalis is candidate-provided and is not independently verified by Revalis. Revalis does not use this tool to create a criminal-history score, “clear/not clear” decision, or consumer report for employers. Formal employment background checks should be handled by the employer or an appropriate third-party screening provider. Revalis does not receive a fee or commission from the government and credit-report links above. Always read each provider’s current terms, fees, and limits.

Strengthen the resume, interview readiness, communication, transportation planning and practical work readiness.

03

Repeat Partnership

Direct-placement model: The client employer hires the candidate directly and remains responsible for payroll, tax withholding, the employee’s W-2, wages, work schedule, job duties, supervision, workplace rules, discipline, leave, benefits, and termination. Revalis provides recruiting, referral, candidate-preparation, and optional retention-support services; Revalis does not place referred candidates on Revalis payroll or direct their day-to-day work under this model.

Candidate Referral Pipeline

Recovery, reentry, ministry, shelter, treatment, case-management and workforce partners can refer work-ready people to Revalis with the candidate’s permission.

The Revalis standard

High standards and a fair opportunity can exist together.

The goal is not to lower an employer’s standards. The goal is to help more people become capable of meeting them — while giving employers better information earlier.

✓
Preparation before placement. Candidates are coached before referral.
✓
Transparency before surprises. Relevant issues are addressed as early and appropriately as possible.
✓
Respect on both sides. Candidates and employers are expected to communicate clearly and professionally.
✓
Retention matters. A job start is important, but keeping the job matters too.

Community involvement

You don’t have to hire someone to help someone get hired.

A job opportunity can change a life, but practical barriers can stop someone before the first shift. Revalis is building a community support network around candidates so a missing pair of boots, a ride to work, interview clothes or another basic need does not have to become the reason an opportunity is lost.

Candidate support only Community support received through this initiative is reserved for candidate employment and job-readiness needs — not Revalis startup costs.

What community support can help with

Needs vary by person. Support can be financial, physical items, professional services or practical help.

Transportation Work boots & clothing Hygiene essentials Phones & communication IDs & documents Training & certifications Interview readiness Other work-related barriers

Coming Soon Reentry Ready

Prepare before release. Launch with a plan. Stay employed.

Revalis is developing an employment-focused reentry pathway for people preparing to return to the community after incarceration and for people who have recently come home. The goal is simple: reduce the scramble after release by getting work history, documents, job targets, employer eligibility and practical barriers organized as early as possible.

Prepare

Before release, when access and approval are available.

  • ID and vital-document checklist
  • Work-history reconstruction and resume
  • Target roles and disclosure readiness
  • Basic digital and communication preparation

  • Barrier and attendance check-ins
  • Candidate and employer feedback
  • Retention support and next-step planning

Questions

Know what Revalis does — and what it does not do.

Does Revalis perform background checks?

No. Revalis does not perform background checks. The no-surprise approach is built around candidate-disclosed information and employer-provided guidance about eligibility and role requirements.

Does Revalis guarantee a job?

No. Revalis helps candidates prepare and seeks realistic employer matches, but the employer makes its own hiring decision.

Who employs a candidate after a Revalis referral?

Under Revalis’s current direct-placement model, the client employer hires the candidate directly. The employer handles payroll and the W-2, sets wages and schedules, directs the work, supervises performance, and makes discipline and termination decisions. Revalis provides recruiting, referral, preparation, and optional retention support rather than employing the referred candidate.

Does saving or sharing a background disclosure authorize Revalis to send it to an employer?

No. Saving keeps the disclosure private in the candidate’s encrypted vault. Sharing with Revalis is a separate choice for job-readiness support. Revalis will seek separate, employer-specific authorization before communicating the candidate’s disclosure to an employer.

Can an employer contact Revalis before having an opening?

Yes. Early conversations help Revalis understand hiring requirements, schedules, workplace expectations and the types of candidates that may be a realistic fit.

What if a candidate needs help beyond a resume?

Revalis is designed to identify practical barriers and seek community resource connections for needs such as transportation, work clothing, identification, education or training when appropriate resources are available.

Founder story

Built to create a clearer path between potential and opportunity.

Revalis grew from a simple frustration: capable people can be screened out before an employer ever sees what they can do, while employers can lose time when important hiring issues are discovered too late.

I started Revalis to build a more direct bridge between those two problems — prepare people before referral, learn employer expectations up front, and keep supporting both sides after the hire.

The mission is not to lower standards. It is to help people become better prepared to meet them, give employers clearer information earlier, and create more employment relationships that have a real chance to last.

“People should have the opportunity to be judged by what they are prepared to do next — and employers deserve candidates who understand what is expected of them.”
John LewisFounder · Revalis Workforce Solutions LLC
With Gratitude

A personal thank-you to the people who gave me a chance.

Revalis Workforce Solutions would not exist without people and companies willing to believe that a person can be more than their past.

I want to personally recognize Innovative Staffing Solutions (ISS) and Future X Industries for giving me an opportunity when an opportunity mattered.

That experience became part of the inspiration behind Revalis. Being given a chance to work, prove yourself, show up and move forward can change far more than a paycheck. It can restore confidence, stability, purpose and the belief that there is still a path ahead.

Revalis was built to help create more of those opportunities.

“To the people at ISS and Future X Industries who gave me a chance: thank you. I haven't forgotten it, and I never will.”
— John Lewis

This recognition reflects the founder's personal gratitude and does not imply sponsorship, endorsement or an official partnership with Revalis Workforce Solutions LLC.
