I am a marketing professional with more than 20 years experience. Last summer I was charged with a misdemeanor crime of unlawful restraint. I won't get into specifics but wondering what HR pros and/or recruiters think about when and how I disclose my offense to a potential employer. I have an interview next week for a director position and do not want this to be a major issue. Do I tell them early or wait until they see it on my background check and ask?
