We do a background check on all final candidates. If a felony hit is found there is a review done to evaluate the conviction against the risks to clients and co-workers. Time elapsed and successful work record since the event is also examined. Of course if the employment application question regarding convictions is not correctly answered a decision may be made based on dishonesty. We use an on-line service, First Advantage (formerly Hire Check). If an adverse hiring decision is made based on a report, there is a detailed notice and appeal process required by FCRA. Feel free to contact me at 716-332-2373 with questions.
