Your Criminal Record & Employment

If you have had criminal charges and/or criminal convictions and you live in Sudbury Ontario, you are most likely experiencing on or two serious problems in your life.  One of the more serious problems you may be experiencing is having a hard time getting hired for a job. The good news is that there is a legal process you can start today which can help remove this obstacle from your job search.

Hiring managers in Sudbury, Ontario are performing criminal background checks for new employees and potential candidates, at higher rates than has ever been recorded. This means that people with a criminal record are at greater risk of not being hired for the job they are seeking.

To make things worse, the rising requirements for employees and staff to pass a criminal background check are even resulting in highly qualified candidates losing their jobs because of minor instances in their criminal records. Furthermore, even if you were never convicted/found guilty of the crime you were charged with, the mere charge itself can still appear on your record. This can still prevent you from landing a rewarding job because many employers expect to see absolutely no criminal involvement with the police.

You may be like many of the people we help, who find themselves in the frustrating situation where they have lost a potential employment opportunity to a less qualified candidate  because they had a criminal past. Or you may simply continue to be denied employment, even after having completed what felt like a series of successful interviews.

This is why more and more residents in Ontario are taking the right steps to see the extent of their criminal record, and how they can remove it in order to land a rewarding job.
