Background Check and Drug Test Requirements

Home Depot requires all contractors to successfully pass a criminal background check and drug test. If you were a contractor with Williams Creative Group in the past and passed a background check and drug test you do not need to test again.

Williams Creative Group will pay for testing for all contracted designers and for a helper - if a designer will be responsible for three or more Home Depot stores. All tests must be scheduled through S2Verify, a third-party administrator.

You will be directed to an online registration form after you have submitted the Independent Contractor Agreement. After you have completed the registration form, you will receive an email from S2Verify with further instructions and another email from i3Screen to schedule your drug test. Be sure to check your spam/junk folder.
