How to verify a recruitment communication
Common recruitment scam warning signs
Fraudsters may copy company names, logos, job descriptions, recruiter profiles or offer-letter formats. A professional-looking message is not proof that the sender is genuine.
- an offer without a credible interview or selection process;
- pressure to make an immediate payment;
- requests to communicate only through WhatsApp, Telegram or another unofficial channel;
- email addresses or websites that imitate but do not exactly match an authorised domain;
- requests for sensitive banking credentials or authentication codes;
- requests to buy equipment, vouchers or software from a specified seller;
- claims that a job will be cancelled unless you pay immediately;
- poorly matched job descriptions, inconsistent company information or unusual promises of guaranteed employment; and
- requests to keep the transaction or communication secret from the company.
Before sharing documents
A genuine recruitment process may require documents at appropriate stages. Before uploading identity, financial, educational or employment documents, make sure you know who is requesting them and why.
- Do not send unnecessary documents to an unknown person.
- Do not send passwords or authentication codes with documents.
- Prefer the company's authorised recruitment system or verified HR channel.
- Question unusual requests for documents unrelated to the role.
If you receive a suspicious offer
- Stop communicating if the request appears fraudulent.
- Do not click suspicious links or open unexpected attachments.
- Do not make any payment.
- Do not share OTPs, PINs, passwords or financial credentials.
- Save the emails, messages, phone numbers, URLs, documents and payment details as evidence.
- Verify the claim independently through an official Martinet Technologies channel.
