The Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) is a federal tax credit in the United States designed to incentivize employers to hire employees from certain target groups who have faced significant barriers to employment, such as veterans, individuals on public assistance, and ex-felons.
The WOTC credit is available to eligible employers who hire individuals from these target groups and who meet certain requirements. The amount of the credit is based on a percentage of the first-year wages paid to the eligible employee, with a maximum credit available per employee.
The average tax credit is around $2,400 and around 10-15% of new hires may be eligible.
iRecruit Includes Work Opportunity Tax Credit Screening

- Add screening url/link to employment application – candidates complete at the same time as their application.
- Add screening url/link to iConnect’s onboarding so it’s automatically included with other new hire paperwork.
- Provide link or Call Center to applicant to do screening.
- Embed url/link for screening in another system.
