Companies are understandably concerned about the safety of their workers and customers as well as their own assets and public image. But today, many employers are finding that the best approach to hiring individuals with criminal backgrounds is not so different from the hiring approach they use for everyone else: to evaluate each candidate on his or her merits. Before hiring a job candidate, screening the applicant’s background helps employers make safe and well-informed decisions about whether they will be a trustworthy and competent employee. Criminal background checks are often part of this process and may even be required for new hires if your company is in certain regulated industries or serves vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly, or the disabled. Given that properly accessing and reviewing all of the important sources for an applicant’s criminal history requires extensive time, resources, and familiarity with complex laws and regulations. So what is a criminal background check? When CRAs conduct criminal background checks for employment, they gather and analyze background information from municipal, state, county, and federal criminal records databases for job applicants. The types of information that might be reported include misdemeanor and felony convictions and pending criminal matters. Different searches might produce different records. For example, if an employer only searches a state’s criminal records repository, the employer will only receive information about any convictions and arrests that are contained in the state’s criminal justice system. Employers might instead elect to complete nationwide searches to find criminal record information from multiple states or perform searches in every county and state where an applicant has lived.
