Common Questions from Talent

Is this a therapy program or medical service? +
No. HoldOnTalent is not a healthcare platform, therapy program, or medical service. We're a workforce ecosystem that connects motivated people with companies committed to sustainable re-entry practices. You don't need a diagnosis, medical clearance, or doctor's note to participate.
Do I need to share my medical history or explain why I was absent? +
Absolutely not. Your privacy is fully respected. You'll never be asked to disclose medical information, diagnosis details, or the specific reasons for your absence. What matters is that you feel ready and motivated to explore new opportunities.
What does "ready to return" actually mean? +
It means you've decided you're motivated to restart your professional life and you're looking for the right environment to do so. You're no longer in crisis, and you're prepared to engage with work in a thoughtful, sustainable way. Only you can define your readiness.
How long does registration actually take? +
Under 5 minutes. We ask for essential information only: your professional background, what you're looking for, and your preferred work conditions. No lengthy questionnaires, no assessments, no forms that feel like interrogations.
Will employers know about my burnout or absence? +
You decide what to share. HoldOnTalent doesn't label or disclose your history. When you connect with ReEntry companies, you control the conversation. Many people choose to be open about their journey because ReEntry employers value that honesty—but it's always your choice.
What's the difference between HoldOnTalent and a regular job board? +
Traditional job boards list openings. HoldOnTalent curates connections with companies that have committed to the ReEntry label—meaning they've structured their workplaces to support sustainable re-entry. These aren't just jobs; they're environments designed with realistic workloads, psychological safety, and long-term retention in mind.
Is there a cost to join? +
No. Registration and access to opportunities through HoldOnTalent are completely free for talent.
What if I'm not ready yet—can I still register? +
Yes. You can create a profile and explore what's available without any obligation. You decide when and if you want to move forward. Some people register months before they're ready to actively engage. That's perfectly fine.
Can I work part-time or remotely through HoldOnTalent? +
That depends on the specific opportunities available. Many ReEntry companies offer flexible arrangements, including part-time, remote, or hybrid options, because they understand that sustainable re-entry often requires flexibility. You can filter opportunities based on your preferences.
What if it doesn't work out? Am I stuck? +
No. You're never locked in. If a role or company isn't the right fit, you can explore other options within the ecosystem. The goal is to find sustainable, long-term matches—not force-fit placements.

Common Questions from Employers

What exactly is the ReEntry label? +
The ReEntry label is a recognition that your company has committed to creating an environment that supports sustainable workforce re-entry. It's not a certification, audit, legal designation, or compliance framework. It's a public commitment to realistic workloads, psychological safety, and long-term retention practices.
Do we need to hire people with medical conditions or disabilities? +
No. This is not a medical accommodation program or disability hiring initiative. ReEntry talent are motivated professionals who've decided they're ready to return to work. There are no medical requirements, diagnoses, or health-related disclosures involved.
What are we committing to if we adopt the ReEntry label? +
You're committing to: Realistic workloads that don't lead to burnout; Psychological safety in team culture and management practices; Sustainable expectations around availability, pace, and performance; Long-term thinking about retention over short-term output. These are principles, not checklists.
Will we be audited or monitored? +
No. The ReEntry label is not a certification scheme with audits, compliance checks, or third-party monitoring. It's a commitment you make publicly and uphold through your practices. Your reputation and employer brand are the accountability mechanisms.
What if a ReEntry hire doesn't work out? +
The same standards apply as with any hire. The ReEntry label doesn't guarantee outcomes or require you to retain employees who aren't a good fit. What it does mean is that you've created conditions that maximize the chance of sustainable, long-term success.
Is there a cost to become a ReEntry company? +
There is no fee to adopt the ReEntry label or access the HoldOnTalent ecosystem. However, building sustainable practices may require internal investment in culture, management training, and policy adjustments.
What's in it for us as a company? +
ReEntry companies benefit from: Stronger employer branding that attracts quality talent; ESG credibility with substance behind the commitment; Access to motivated, prepared professionals often overlooked by traditional recruitment; Lower turnover and relapse risk due to better job-fit matching; Positive impact on workforce sustainability and social responsibility.
What role do psychologists play in this? +
Psychologists and wellbeing experts operate behind the scenes as part of an independent support network. They help develop frameworks and best practices for sustainable re-entry—but they're not providing therapy, treatment, or clinical oversight. This is a workforce initiative, not a healthcare program.
How does this fit with our ESG strategy? +
The ReEntry label directly supports the "Social" pillar of ESG by demonstrating commitment to workforce wellbeing and mental health, inclusive employment practices, long-term human capital development, and social impact and community contribution. It's ESG with substance—concrete practices, not just statements.
How do we apply for the ReEntry label? +
Start by reaching out through our Get Involved page. We'll have a conversation about your current practices, your commitment to sustainable re-entry principles, and how the label aligns with your organization. It's a dialogue, not an application form.
