- musicale 2y agoHiring discrimination is hard to control, and background checks are still legal.
- Schiendelman 2y agoThis doesn't work well. It results in additional discrimination. The state of the art is, as I understand it, "Fair Chance employment", where the employer explicitly agrees to hire people with criminal records. We're well on our way to the majority of employers opting in, it's snowballed nicely. And it gives jobseekers a big red flag if the company doesn't have that policy.
- rsanek 2y agothat's not how fair chance works -- it just means the company will consider whether or not the offense(s) are relevant to the job. the employer isn't committing to hire more people with criminal records
- musicale 2y ago> the company will consider whether or not the offense(s) are relevant to the job I doubt many employers would consider armed robbery to be a relevant job skill.
- Schiendelman 2y agoWe are saying the same thing. :)
