### Maquiladoras Open Doors to Employees with Criminal Records for Certain Positions
**Tijuana, Mexico** – Maquiladora companies in Tijuana may accept employees with criminal records for certain job positions, according to Obdulia Rodríguez Sánchez, the president of the Association of Human Resources of Tijuana’s Industry (Arithac). However, this flexibility is not universal across all roles within the industry.
“Companies have some flexibility, but there are times when we have requirements to meet. Certain job profiles require specific documents or qualifications, and that’s when the policy is applied; it does not apply in all cases,” Rodríguez Sánchez explained.
Despite this flexibility, Rodríguez Sánchez emphasized the necessity for companies to strengthen their screening processes to identify potential psychological issues or any negative history among prospective employees. “It would be irresponsible as an organization or company to avoid or not promote filters within your organization that allow you to detect any pathology or need among employees that could affect the work environment,” she added.
