The Power of Record Sealing: Opening Doors to New Job Opportunities
In the world of business, potential employers often approach candidates with past criminal convictions with caution. Why? There’s a concern about possible problems when hiring someone with a criminal record. And, yes, that includes being sued.
Corporate Caution
Within the corporate realm, even human resources departments are not exempt from this anxiety. The phrase “covering their backs” is a common theme in these circles.
Imagine a scenario: a company hires an individual with a criminal record, and somewhere along the way, something goes wrong.
Suddenly, the higher-ups scrutinize the human resources decision, demanding answers. “Why did you hire this person with a criminal record?” they ask.
In reality, such situations are relatively rare. Many individuals with criminal records are smart, have remarkable skills, and prove to be the perfect match for a job.
However, most companies opt not to take the perceived risk.
