Safety & Reporting Policy

Overview

Identifying Fraudulent Job Postings

Be aware of these common signs of fraudulent job postings:

Warning Signs

• Requests for upfront payment, personal financial information, or wire transfers
• Requests for excessive personal information like Social Security numbers early in the process
• Vague job descriptions with unrealistic salary promises
• Offers that seem too good to be true or require minimal qualifications for high pay
• High-pressure tactics or urgent deadlines for job applications

Protecting Yourself

Follow these safety tips when using our platform:

• Verify company information through independent research
• Research employers online and check their official websites
• Never pay fees or provide financial information for job applications
