Position Summary…
What you’ll do…
The
Manager, Associate Vetting
is responsible for supporting the criminal screening program for internal and external candidates at Walmart Inc. This role focuses on risk management and rehabilitation, making urgent complex decisions to protect associates, customers, and the Walmart brand. The Manager, Associate Vetting will use their professional judgment and expertise in social services, reentry programs, and criminal justice to assess candidates. They will interpret available data and apply knowledge gained from experiences, training, case studies, academic studies, and peer partnerships to deliver assessments. This role is ideal for someone transitioning into the field from social services, mental health, work reentry programs or a related field, rather than law enforcement exclusively. Candidates with a combination of law enforcement and risk assessment experience, particularly in mental health, are preferred.
In this role you will focus on making work reentry decisions and vetting candidates with criminal backgrounds ensuring that individuals who have been involved in criminal activities are given fair opportunities for employment while also considering the safety and security of the organization.
In the context of work reentry decisions, the role involves evaluating individuals who have been previously incarcerated and determining their suitability for employment. This may include reviewing their criminal records, assessing their rehabilitation efforts, and considering the nature of their past offenses. The goal is to make informed decisions that provide a second chance for individuals who have demonstrated positive changes and a commitment to reintegration into society.
Vetting candidates with criminal backgrounds goes beyond simply checking criminal records. It involves a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s background, including interviews, reference checks, and assessing their overall character and integrity. The focus is on determining whether the candidate poses any risks to the organization, its employees, or clients, while also ensuring that fair and unbiased decisions are made.
As part of this role, it is essential to stay updated on relevant laws and regulations concerning the employment of individuals with criminal backgrounds. This includes understanding any legal limitations or requirements that may impact the hiring process, such as “ban-the-box” laws or restrictions on certain industries.
Additionally, the role may involve collaborating with various stakeholders, such as human resources, legal teams, and community organizations, to ensure a comprehensive and fair approach to work reentry decisions and candidate vetting. Building relationships with these stakeholders can help create a support network for individuals with criminal backgrounds and contribute to their successful reintegration into the workforce.
