Between 70 and 80 million Americans have some type of criminal record. For the approximately one in three adults that figure represents, this adds an additional challenge to the job search process. For job seekers who have a record, Daniel Yanisse, co-founder and CEO of Checkr, an AI-powered background check company, recommends "owning it" during the hiring process. "Own the mistakes and the things that might have happened in the past, but also share all of the great things [you] have done since then," Daniel says. “A lot of employers have empathy and they know that not everyone’s perfect.” Plus, if an applicant doesn’t disclose their record until after an offer is made, they risk having the offer rescinded by an employer. Set yourself up for success by being transparent about your past before the background check process begins.
