Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Hiring

At Article, we value authenticity and transparency in our hiring process. We want to get to know the real you, not an AI‑generated version. From us, you can expect that humans make hiring decisions.

Criminal Background Checks

Having a criminal record does not restrict your employment at Article. Criminal background checks are only conducted with your permission and after a conditional employment offer has been accepted. The decision if a criminal record will restrict your employment will be made on a case‑by‑case basis, where we conduct an "individualized assessment" — a reasoned, evidence‑based determination as to whether the applicant's past conviction has a direct and adverse relationship with the specific job duties of the position.

Work Authorization

Unless otherwise stated, all open roles require legal authorization to work in the location where the job is based, without requiring VISA sponsorship. For US-based roles, Article participates in E‑Verify.
