Would you ever consider hiring a felon? What's your company's policy on this? Is that an auto-reject or would you actually give them a chance?

It would depend on what the felony was for and what the job is.

Depends if it affects their ability to get licensed if needed.

For me personally I would do it depending on what the crime was. Obviously if the role was for a financial role I probably wouldn't want to hire someone who had charges for anything financial. Somethings, however, I do think should be excused.

I believe they do. Everyone makes mistakes but it is harder for them. There are different rules for different industries. In insurance, a lot will depend on whether they can get a state license and how long ago the crime was. The more distance from the year of the offense (with a clean record) will increase the possibilities of getting hired as well.

Do large law firms really recieve enough applications for a position that they cannot follow up when someone reaches out to check on thier application?

And also, how does one go about finding out why they were rejected, if thier qualifications are "impressive"?
