This is an incredibly disorganized employment agency. They set me up with a law firm in Chicago, that I interviewed with, and that offered me a position. I accepted and got a start date. After I accepted the position, Robert Half said "Great! Now all we need to do is your background check!" Several things here:

1) Why the f**k wouldn't you do that first?

2) I was fully transparent with you for years about my background

3) I am justice-impacted after a property crime when I was younger - literally 15 years ago

4) I would go all in, Texas Hold-em style, that I am more qualified in my profession than 90% of the other people in the field. I have decades of experience and nothing but good rapport with every firm I have ever worked with.

5) Their background check company sucks and couldn't produce a report for over two months. When the report came back, it was laughably anemic.

6) They sent me an email saying that they won't hire me because they find my background objectionable and that it reflects a questionable character.

Here's the thing, folks: I messed up when I was a lot younger, served my time, and spend every waking hour paying society back with the rest of my life. I volunteer, teach classes, serve my community... I do it because I am a reformed person like the 77-100 million adult Americans like myself, with criminal records, who just want to work and be productive. I find Robert Half's procedural policy of conducting a background check after having a candidate interview and accept an offer of employment unprofessional to say the least. They embarrassed me, delayed the process by months when they used a background check company that is clearly not qualified, and then sent me an email telling me that I am basically substandard and tarnished. F**k Robert Half. They are an unethical organization that should be ashamed of the way they conduct business.
