DON'T GET SCAMMED
- Never pay to get a job. A real employer never charges you to get hired.
- Never buy gift cards, send crypto, or wire money for a job.
- If a "first paycheck" comes early and you're told to send part back, it's a fake check.
- Recruiting only by Telegram or WhatsApp, with no company email, is a red flag.
- Reach the application from the employer's official careers page, or a known hiring provider like Workday, iCIMS or Indeed. Plenty of real employers use those.
- Make sure the recruiter is real: look them up on the company's site or call the main number and ask for them.
- Never give bank-login passwords. Direct deposit only needs your account and routing number, after you're hired.
- Never send a photo of your ID or Social Security card to someone you haven't met through the real company.
We show you jobs you have a real chance to qualify for. We can't promise anyone a job — the employer decides.
