Could your organization use a clearer guide to using criminal history records in hiring without prompting complaints of employment discrimination? A team of civil rights organizations working with leading members of the background screening industry has developed such a guide, Best Practices Standards: The Proper Use of Criminal Records in Hiring. The publication, provided to all registrants at this conference, outlines practical steps employers and background screeners can use in investigating and evaluating job applicants while complying with the Enforcement Guidance on the Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions (EEOC, April, 2012), and relevant state laws. A panel of distinguished speakers will discuss applying the report’s 20 Best Practices Standards on the Use of Criminal Background Checks in Hiring Decisions.
