Background checks are becoming increasingly important for companies to remove bias from their hiring processes and build more representative workforces. An individualized assessment is a process used by employers to review criminal records on a background check, taking into account the specific conviction and circumstances surrounding it. This approach helps make informed hiring decisions while supporting fair chance hiring. The Green Factors test considers the nature and gravity of the offense, time elapsed since the offense, and the nature of the job being sought to determine if the candidate's past criminal history is correlated with their ability to perform the role. Employers are encouraged to develop a written policy for individualized assessment, assemble a panel of individuals, acknowledge potential biases, and provide opportunities for candidates to share context around their records. Checkr supports fair hiring practices through its Candidate Stories feature and Fair Chance Dashboard, which provides data analytics and resources to help employers measure their progress and create more inclusive workplaces.
