Would You Hire Ex-Felons?

What Is Your Company’s Stand on Hiring Convicted Felons into Your Family of Employees?

What is your company’s stand on hiring ex-felons? Does your company have an overall policy on hiring?  A good interviewer should have the skills to uncover good, qualified candidates with excellent credentials for any job in question.  However, many interviewers may end a candidate’s interview process when he or she checks the “Have you ever been convicted of a crime?” box.  If yours is like most companies, you do the best you can to avoid the entire issue of hiring ex convicts. Many companies do not want the hassle of trying to figure out what to do with such a candidate when he or she indicates some kind of criminal background in his or her past. 

Why should I consider hiring ex-convicts?

It is a shame, sometimes, to leave the decision there because of pre-judging and bias.  There are many highly qualified people who have had difficulties with the law and have been convicted of a crime.  However, the normal reflex reaction of tossing out the candidate who has a record can severely limit your ability to hire the best candidate for the job.  Regardless, the occurrences of such situations are only going to increase rapidly due to the increasing number of felons in the population.
