P&G did not tell us directly if they perform background checks, but we discovered that they do as part of their hiring process.
Here’s what you need to know about background checks:
Depending on what state you live in, you may face different background check requirements. Some states only perform checks that go back seven years. Here is a list of those states:
- California
- Colorado*
- Kansas*
- Maryland*
- Massachusetts
- Montana
- Nevada
- New Hampshire*
- New York*
- Texas*
- Washington*
*sometimes certain pay or salary bracket positions require one.

- Alaska
- California
- Hawaii
- Indiana (limited check)
- Kentucky
- Massachusetts
- Michigan
- New York
Unfortunately, there are still many states that show everything when a background check is run. This includes all charges, regardless of whether you were found guilty or not guilty. Here are those states:
- Alabama
- Arizona
- Arkansas
- Connecticut
- DC
- Delaware
- Florida
- Idaho
- Indiana (extensive check)
- Iowa
- Louisiana

What felonies Procter and Gamble will not hire
There are undoubtedly some offenses that P&G won’t overlook, but they haven’tn put out a statement about it. Read below for potential barriers.
What felony convictions might have a hard time getting hired here?
We know they do, so when does Procter & Gamble hire felons? Well, when your convictions don’t get in the way.
Employees at P&G are often given access to sensitive information concerning the businesses they contract with, especially those in their sales departments. Because of this, you may have a hard time getting a job there if you have fraud, theft or breach of trust charges.
For P&G employees that interact regularly with the public, like their equipment installers, those with sex crimes may have a hard time finding employment here.
You know your criminal history and have a chance to explain your charges in an interview. The bottom line is that P&G is going to do what they have to when protecting their public image, so make sure they know you understand that and want to be a part of their team.
Does Procter and Gamble hire sex offenders?
Wouldn’t you know it? The company hasn’t come out to say. There were no online responses about this, either.
Does Procter and Gamble drug test?
We found that P&G does perform drugs tests as part of their hiring process. After that, former employees say drug tests are only performed if there is a workplace injury, which is standard workers’ compensation procedure.
