Finn Partners Hiring Overview For 2023

Official company policy for hiring felons

We contacted Finn Partners to ask if they hire former felons. This was their response:

“Due to the nature of our business, we, more than likely, would never be able to hire any individual that has a prior conviction that gained media attention. Also, we have to factor in our clients and the hiring of felons will surface on their end so we take this into account as well.”

So the short answer is that they probably won’t hire anyone with a felony conviction.

Has Finn Partners hired felons in the past?

They said no they don’t hire felons.

Does Finn Partners hire people with misdemeanors?

We don’t know. They’re very strict on hiring policies, but it’s possible.

Will Finn Partners hire you with pending charges?

Finn Partners stated that they were unlikely to hire anyone with a prior conviction, so pending charges will probably also disqualify you.

Is Finn Partners on the Ban the Box list?

If you’ve never heard of the Ban the Box list, that’s okay. It’s an initiative for employers to rid applications of the checkbox that asks if you’ve ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor.

The Fair Chance Business Pledge also helps former felons. It’s a pledge companies take saying they’ll look past your convictions and focus on your talents, skills and work history instead.

Finn Partners doesn’t participate in either program and they do have a question on their application asking if you’ve ever been convicted of a crime.

Does Finn Partners have special programs for hiring felons?

Finn Partners doesn’t offer any special hiring programs for felons. You can contact your local employment agency or workforce development agency to find some, though!
