Employers are intrigued by the idea of second chance hiring. It has the potential to solve social problems and unlock a largely untapped supply of potential job applicants. However, employers must achieve a delicate balance between these benefits while also mitigating hiring risks. Attendees of this session will learn practical techniques to adapt their hiring process to be more inclusive of those with a criminal record. We’ll cover compliance with existing and emerging regulatory requirements, the fair chance spectrum, and practical techniques to determine if a record is related to the job.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Overview of State & Federal Regulatory Requirements
- The Spectrum of Fair Chance Options Available to Employers
- Adjustments to Job Postings and Interviews
- Techniques for Determining the Job-Relevancy of Criminal Records
- Individualized Assessment Steps
