Conair Hiring Overview For 2023

Is Conair on the Ban the Box list?

Ban the Box is a movement to rid applications of the checkbox asking if you’ve been convicted of a crime.

The Fair Chance Business Pledge is an effort to encourage employers to look at your current skills and talents rather than your past mistakes.

Conair doesn’t participate in either of these programs. That’s okay because we took the time to fill out an application for Conair and there’s no checkbox asking if we’d been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony.

Does Conair have special programs for hiring felons?

Conair doesn’t have any special programs for hiring felons, but that’s okay because most companies don’t. If a program like this interests you, contact your local workforce development office or employment agency.

What are the odds that someone with a felony will get hired?

We give your odds of getting hired at Conair with a felony as average. There aren’t a lot of reports saying people with records have gotten employed there, but there are some. We also know they aren’t on the Ban the Box list, but they don’t ask about convictions on their application. Since Conair is an equal opportunity employer, you should still apply for an entry-level position.

What are some entry-level jobs?
