More and more companies are relaxing their hiring requirements, like drug testing, background checks and the amount of experience and education wanted.

A recruitment and staffing firm says nearly 40 percent of employers say they have loosened job requirements to lure more workers.

Past convictions like drug or alcohol-related offenses and motor vehicle issues are less likely to keep people from being hired.
