As part of employer registration, DEMA Health may ask organizations about their current second-chance or fair-chance employment practices.
Hiring practices vary by organization, industry, position, legal requirements, licensing standards, contractual obligations, and other job-specific considerations. These questions help us better understand the types of opportunities participating employers may be able to offer.
Understanding an organization's hiring practices helps DEMA Health better support appropriate Talent discovery while recognizing that different positions may have different requirements or restrictions.
Employers May Be Asked Which Statement Best Describes Their Organization
Options may include:
- We consider applicants with criminal conviction histories for most positions when legally permitted.
- We consider second-chance applicants for certain positions.
- Decisions are made individually based on the position and circumstances.
- Our organization generally does not hire individuals with certain criminal histories.
- Some positions have legal, regulatory, licensing, contractual, security, or client requirements that may affect eligibility.
- Our organization participates in a formal second-chance or fair-chance hiring initiative.
- We may be interested in considering qualified second-chance Talent for appropriate opportunities.
- We are unsure of our organization's current policy.
Position Requirements May Differ
An organization's answer does not necessarily apply equally to every position. Individual roles may have different requirements based on law, licensing, regulation, contracts, clients, or the responsibilities of the job.
Employers Make Their Own Hiring Decisions
Participating employers remain responsible for determining whether a candidate satisfies the qualifications, policies, background requirements, and other lawful conditions associated with their positions.
