Does Verizon hire felons?

By Zippia Team - May. 6, 2022

Yes, Verizon will hire felons as long as the felony occurred over seven years ago. Having a criminal record is not an automatic exclusion of employment. The HR representative will conduct a background check that will check for both federal and state crimes.

It is Verizon policy that it will review all convictions (both misdemeanors and felonies) and take into account the nature and circumstances of the conviction. If it concludes that the circumstances are directly related to a job function, the applicant will be removed from the job pool.

Remember to always be honest and straightforward during the hiring process. Lying could come back to haunt you later as the HR representative will likely find out the truth.
