At Design.Garden, we recognize the fundamental human right to work and be fairly compensated, irrespective of an individual’s past and we strive to balance this with our responsibility to our clients to ensure we meet their own employment standards. Therefore, we have implemented a comprehensive background check policy to balance these principles.

Policy for Employment Candidates

1. Background Checks: As part of our hiring process, all candidates are required to undergo a background check. This is crucial to ensure the safety and security of our workplace and maintain the high standards of service we promise our clients.
2. Screening Companies: We may conduct these checks using one of the following accredited screening companies: GoodHire, HireRight, or AccurateNow. Candidates should be prepared to consent to background checks by any of these providers.
3. Scope of Checks: The checks may include, but are not limited to, verification of criminal records, employment history, educational qualifications, and any other checks deemed necessary based on the role’s requirements.
4. Candidate Rights: We respect the privacy and dignity of all candidates. You will be notified prior to the background check and your consent will be sought in a clear and transparent manner. You have the right to dispute any findings from these checks.

Policy for Our Customers and Partners

1. Adherence to Your Requirements: We acknowledge and respect that you have specific screening processes that may differ from our own. We invite you to provide your requirements, and we will ensure that our staff assignments comply.
2. Privacy and Eights of our Employees: We strive to maintain complete transparency with our customers regarding our policies, though we will not disclose private information about individual employees, including the results of background checks. In some cases, and with the employees’ consent, you may perform your own background checks on our staff.
