A background check doesn't mean you 'can't hire' someone with something that comes up on the report. It just means you are aware of what is on the report and you can make an informed decision. If someone has a felony conviction on their record for selling a pound of pot 15 years ago, that probably wouldn't impact a decision too much. However, if they have a felony conviction for stealing credit card numbers 3 years ago, and you are considering hiring them... that bit of information would be very good to know.
Information is never a bad thing
