Trust your instincts and beware of these sneaky red flags.
Job scams are all too common. Here's how to avoid getting played by a recruiter.
HuffPost talked to real recruiters and career experts on how you can spot a fake job offer and avoid getting scammed:Part of being a recruiter is making connections. Watch out for recruiters who do not have any following on professional networking sites. Most companies will list their open positions on their websites, and it’s suspicious if the job you are applying for is not on there, too.
To avoid being scammed, Tardy recommends making sure that any recruiter who is direct-messaging you is also connected to a company that has a visible online presence.“If they are using some sort of like an untraditional platform like trying to get you on WhatsApp or Telegram, that is a huge red flag,” Dilber said. “No company, especially no US-based company, is going to use any of those, any site like that, any sort of text-based interaction.
Dilber said that even if the offer turns out to be legitimate, it’s a sign that the job will be terrible because it signals that the company has no hiring standards.McGovern said she sees scammers take advantage of job seekers’ desire to work fully remotely, for example, and advises people to make sure to look at other factors, even if your top priority is being offered.
