Fair Chance Employment

Submitted by Michelle Dreier, Director of Member Engagement & Government Affairs

The Electrical Association believes in second chances. Just because someone made a poor choice in their past doesn’t mean they wouldn’t make a great employee today. Navigating hiring someone with a criminal background can be tricky and confusing territory. That is why EA has partnered with Fair Chance Employer to guide our members through the process. 

Have you had a candidate that came in and impressed you in the interview process, only to find they have a mark on their criminal background? Your hiring process doesn’t need to stop there. Enter Fair Chance Employer, a solution designed to make hiring justice involved candidates 

• Easy to use and understand 
• Helps employers make sense of what a background check means 
• Provides the training and compliance for the EEOC and FCRA requirements all employers must follow
