About Fair Chance Hiring
Learn what Fair Chance hiring means and how it works. This article explains when employers can ask about criminal history and how to find Fair Chance jobs on Indeed. It also covers what may happen after a conditional job offer, like background checks.
What is Fair Chance hiring?
Fair Chance hiring means employers wait until after a conditional job offer to ask about criminal history.
Before a conditional offer, they do not ask about:
- Criminal convictions or history
- Arrests that did not lead to a conviction
- Pretrial or post-trial diversion program participation
- Records that are sealed, dismissed, expunged, or erased by law
Searching for Fair Chance jobs
- Sign in to Indeed.com.
- Use the keyword Fair Chance Employers.
- Add your location.
- Use the filters at the top to narrow your results.
After a conditional offer
- The employer may run a background check.
- They will review each person's situation before taking back an offer (an “individualized assessment").
Why do Fair Chance employers individually assess each candidate?
Individual assessment helps employers look at relevant factors like:
- What the record is about and how serious it is
- How long it has been since it happened
- How it relates to the job
Important note about laws
Background check rules can be different by state, county, and city. Employers must follow local laws.
