3.4 Background check

All applicants for North American jobs ‏(no matter which nationality) will have to go through a back-ground check prior to any contract signature in line with North American regulations.

Background check is an indispensable tool for spotting candidates who pose as legitimate threat to an organization based on past behavior. In fact, background checks often are the best defense against negligent hiring and retention claims. Employers can protect their brand, reputation, customers, em-ployees and guard against financial loss

A major reason to conduct background is to avoid harm or legal liability of various types to the em-ployer or to others. This includes harm to:

• Other employees by sexual harassment or workplace violence.
• The organization's internal and external customers by, for example, sexual assault on busi-ness premises.
• The employer's business through financial loss or image and reputational issues.
• Defense of legal claims, such as negligent hiring, is a compelling reason to conduct in-depth criminal records searches of job applicants. A multilevel jurisdictional criminal records search can be strong evidence that the employer exercised due care in hiring

In Henkel’s capacity as the mother company of the global Henkel group of companies, we will share your personal information with other Henkel offices or subsidiaries around the world in such countries for which you have registered your application, including countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, which might not provide the same level of data protection. All such entities are subject to this Data Protection Statement and further measures to secure an appropriate level of data protection that is equivalent to the one of the European Union, such as the conclusion of Stand-ard Data Protection Clauses as issued by the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 46 sec. 2 lit. c GDPR. You can find all Henkel offices and subsidiaries on our website.

To conduct the application and selection process and provide our talent pool we also rely on external service providers, which are strictly bound by our orders and may not process your personal data for their own purposes. These act as data processors pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR.

In case of involvement of head-hunters or recruitment agencies, specific process-related information will be shared with the head-hunter / agency for this particular process.
