About Article

Hi there, we’re Article. 👋 Since 2013 we’ve been redefining the furniture industry one sofa at a time.

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. Here are some guidelines around Artificial Intelligence in Hiring and what we expect from you.

From us, you can expect that humans will carefully review every application. We do not use artificial intelligence or ranking algorithms in our 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
Equal Opportunity Statement:
At Article, we value and respect individuals for their different talents, skills, abilities, and unique contributions. Employment decisions are based on merit and business needs, and not on race, ethnic origin, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, disability, genetic characteristics, personal beliefs, or any other classification protected by federal, state, provincial, and local laws and ordinances.
Accommodations:
Reasonable accommodations are related to a disability or another protected characteristic. Applicants can also request accommodation at any stage of the recruitment process by notifying the hiring team or emailing ta.accommodation@article.com. This email is dedicated to accommodation requests only—non-related messages will not receive a response.
