Will you find out if you have a criminal record when you are looking for a job?

Legal analysis: generally, it can't be found out, because the enterprise has no right and no need to check the criminal record of the recruiter. Even if the application is made, the public security organ will generally not approve it. Criminal records can only be inquired by state organs under certain circumstances, and lawyers can apply for inquiries for handling cases. Ordinary individuals and enterprises are generally not allowed to inquire about other people's criminal records.

Legal basis: Article 286 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) * * * If he was under the age of 18 at the time of committing the crime and was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, the relevant criminal records shall be sealed.

If the criminal record is sealed, it shall not be provided to any unit or individual, except for the need of judicial organs to handle cases or the relevant units to make inquiries in accordance with state regulations. Units that inquire according to law shall keep the sealed criminal records confidential.
