Yes, Freedom Oil and Gas told us they do. Here is what they had to say:
Background checks are done and employment is contingent on a clear background check.
Something to keep in mind regarding background checks:

- California
- Colorado
- Indiana (limited check)

What felonies Freedom Oil and Gas will not hire
There are tons of felony convictions that will make Freedom Oil&Gas pass on your resume. They just haven’t shared them with us, except to say they don’t hire people with felony records.
What felony convictions might have a hard time getting hired here?
Pretty much all of them. But if you’ve only got a misdemeanor record, do you still have a chance? We were given a little insight on this from their executive assistant, though. Here is what we were told:
“Our industry is highly susceptible to theft and fraud so we have to do all we can to guard against that.”
Knowing this, if your background consists of a theft charge or anything with fraud, your chances of being hired here will probably not be very good.
We would think that they may also frown upon any drug or alcohol conviction since safety is important in this industry.
Does Freedom Oil and Gas hire sex offenders?
We think it unlikely, given their hiring policies, that they hire people with sex offenses on their records.
Does Freedom Oil and Gas drug test?
We weren’t able to find anything that directly touched on this subject. However, we did notice that Freedom Oil & Gas has a strict safety policy. They strive to prevent accidents and injuries. This being said, you should expect a drug screen when applying and more than likely random ones as well.
