Job Scam & Application Safety

Protect yourself during the job search.

Be cautious of supposed employers that demand money to apply, send a check and ask you to return part of the funds, request banking credentials before legitimate onboarding, conduct the entire hiring process through anonymous messaging apps or offer unusually high pay for vague work with no verifiable employer identity.

Verify the OpeningConfirm the position on the employer's official site or through a trusted public-agency page.

Protect Sensitive InformationDo not casually email Social Security numbers, banking information, passwords or copies of identity documents.

Never Pay for a JobApplication fees, gift-card requests or demands that you buy equipment from a specific stranger are major warning signs.

Check the RecruiterCompare the recruiter's email domain, job title and contact information with the employer's official organization.
