Good morning, I’m Brit Morse, an assistant editor at Inc. and your new Inc. This Morning newsletter writer. Thanks for welcoming me to your inbox! If you’re looking to hire a more diverse team, there’s a group of talent you probably haven’t yet tapped: the chronically ill. More than 157 million people in the U.S. have what’s considered a chronic condition, and founders Hannah Olson and Kai Keane want to help you hire them. Their platform Chronically Capable connects ill and disabled professionals to employers willing to offer flexibility. The inspiration for the company came from Olson herself, who had to give up her dream job after a Lyme disease diagnosis required her to receive antibiotic treatments through an arm catheter for up to six hours a day. Since launching in 2018, the website now counts more than 50,000 job seekers among its users and has helped more than 50 employers post full- and part-time jobs, as well as contract and freelance work. Read Olson’s story to learn how she’s helping companies such as WhatsApp, Postmates, Google, and Levi Strauss find new, unexpected talent. |
