Because we haven’t been able to contact an Alorica representative, we can’t be certain either way.
However, the Alorica @Home FAQ has information about this. It says that Alorica will do a background check after the interview.
Here’s what you need to know about background checks:
The state you live in will determine if and how much of your background check will be looked at. For example, these states don’t care about anything older than seven years:
- California
- Colorado*
- Kansas*
- Maryland*
- Massachusetts
- Montana
- Nevada
- New Hampshire*
- New York*
- Texas*
- Washington*
(* sometimes certain pay or salary bracket positions require one.)
Interestingly, these states don’t look at anything where you’ve been found not guilty:
- Alaska
- California
- Hawaii
- Indiana (limited check)
- Kentucky
- Massachusetts
- Michigan
- New York
But if you live in one of these next states, be prepared. They are able to see your entire background history, including not guilty verdicts.
- Alabama
- Arizona
- Arkansas
- Connecticut
- DC
- Delaware
- Florida
- Idaho
- Indiana (extensive check)
- Iowa
- Louisiana
- Maine
- Mississippi
- Missouri
- Nebraska
- New Jersey
- North Carolina

What felony convictions might have a hard time getting hired here?
Does Alorica hire felons? It looks like they do. Because you’ll be working as a customer service representative, certain felonies might pose a problem. Let’s take a look at the felonies that may get in the way of being hired at Alorica:
- Theft and fraud charges will make it difficult since you will be working with credit card information.
- Violent crimes may also pose a problem because you will be working closely with a room full of other customer service representatives with different personalities.
Again, think of your record. How does it relate to the job you’re applying to? If you can see some conflicts, Alorica will, too.
Does Alorica drug test?
We are uncertain whether Alorica will drug test. However, it’s best to plan for it.
