It all started with a Buddhist and a bakery in 1982. Since then, when people say, yes, I want to work; we say yes right back. We call it Open Hiring®-No background checks, no resumes, no interviews- and it invests in people and builds communities, businesses, and a better world. Because it’s not someone’s past that matters — it’s their future.
Open Hiring® shifts investment and human resources into training, learning and development, benefits, and employee support. When people say they want to work, we give them a chance - no questions asked, no resumes, no interviews, no background checks. Greyston Bakery is proof that it works. It produces 40,000 pounds of world-class baked goods daily for companies like Ben & Jerry’s and Whole Foods Market, and retail customers through its online store.
Open Hiring is good for business. It allows companies to save on recruitment costs and access a broader pool of talent to meet their hiring needs. It creates value in organizations while fostering equality, respect, and growth in communities.
