Your background check policy should specify what types of information you will consider in employment decisions. It's considered a best practice to take into account the nature of the position sought, the nature of the crime, and the amount of time since the conviction occurred. Decide the recruitment process stage in which you plan to screen candidates, and the intervals at which you plan to screen current employees. Federal law allows an employer to conduct employment screening at any time after getting the candidate's consent, but state and local laws may be more restrictive.
