What types of convictions are allowed through the criminal background check?

Each candidate is evaluated independently for a comprehensive background check.  Typically, felony convictions especially those of domestic, sexual, or drug nature will be disqualifications for hire.  Certain gross misdemeanors and misdemeanors will also be grounds for dismissal from the hiring process.  Moving violations involving substance abuse, intention, or neglect, especially those in recent past may also be reasons for disqualifications.
