Job Seekers – Avoid Rising Recruiting Scams

Career Center

Posted on Jul 11, 2024

It’s a never ending story. The cold phone calls, the spam emails, and the spam text keep coming. Unfortunately, scammers are now taking advantage of legitimate job seekers by offering fake job opportunities. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), in most of 2023, there were almost 78,000 claims of job opportunity fraud. UNIFORCE has also experienced scammers posing as our organization by texting random people with fraudulent job opportunities. Our employment agency issued a security alert warning about Phishing Scams.

An employment temp agency should only post job opportunities on legitimate, reputable web sites. UNIFORCE only posts its open jobs on national job boards, linkedin.com and it’s own web site. It’s always a good idea to see if the job posting is actually linked to the official company branded page on any of these web sites. If not related, definitely ignore.

Job postings should never request any personal information from the applicant. UNIFORCE will never request a social security number, bank account number, Cashapp (or similar app) or credit card number from any job seeker. A true and reputable staffing firm will only request first name, last name, email, phone, and a resume.

Beware of fake remote / work-from-home remote job opportunities. If it’s too good to be true, it usually is untrue. The scammers are now making the national news. The Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM) just posted an article stating that Job Seekers Should Be Wary of Rising Recruitment Scams.
