Summary

Fair chance hiring is a balanced approach to recognize the value of people with arrest and conviction histories, balancing safety with opportunities to rebuild lives through work. It's about considering the whole person behind the criminal record, inclusive of their successes since the conviction, and not solely relying on screening out candidates based on criminal history alone. Checkr has implemented a streamlined set of practices that honor this approach, including an adjudication framework, fair chance source partners, individualized assessments, and a focus on nature, time, and nexus between the crime and job requirements. The goal is to ensure people with criminal records have a fair shot at employment, advancing social justice and racial equity in the process. By embracing fair chance hiring, businesses can positively impact families and communities, and contribute to building a fairer future of work for all.
