How to catch configuration error like bad connection string?

After configuring a BackgroundJobClient with SqlStorageOptions containing a bad connection string, Hangfire loops over the following Hangfire.Processing.BackgroundException, but there is no user code in the stacktrace so I am unable to catch the exception and kill the ASPNET Core App. I have reviewed the Dealing with exceptions article, but it does not cover a startup exception like this. Is there a global hook I can use to handle exceptions such as the following?

[2021-02-14 14:08:16Z] [ERR] [<s:Hangfire.Processing.BackgroundExecution>] Execution BackgroundServerProcess is still in the Failed state for 00:00:25.0114300 due to an exception, will be retried no more than in 00:00:15
