Trust & safety

How Genie vets pros — identity checks, background checks, licensing and insurance — and keeps your home safe.

Every pro is verified

Identity verification and reviews from real jobs for everyone on the platform. Verification is automated — a pro's ID and criminal background check run the moment they apply, so screening is thorough without slowing pros down.

Background checks for in-home roles

Roles inside your home — cleaning, care and more — require a cleared criminal background check before a pro can take work.

Licence & insurance for trades

Regulated trades like plumbing, electrical and HVAC must have verified licensing and insurance before taking work.

Whole crews vetted, not just the lead

On team jobs like moving, junk removal and group cleans, every crew member is verified — not only the person who booked.

Masked contact & monitored chat

Your contact details stay protected, and communication stays on Genie for safety and record.

FAQ

Are Genie pros background-checked?

Yes. Pros in in-home roles must pass a criminal background check, and all pros are identity-verified with reviews. The check runs automatically when a pro applies, and regulated trades add verified licence and insurance.

Are all members of a crew checked?

Yes — on team jobs like moving or junk removal, every crew member is vetted, not just the lead.

Is my personal info protected?

Yes — contact is masked and communication is kept on-platform until you're connected with a pro you've chosen.
