Recruitment Fraud & Job Scam Alerts

Anyone using online job search websites should be careful to avoid potential scams. There are several common financial scams involving false identities which impersonate legitimate people or companies in order to steal your money or identity. In addition to these scams, the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) monitors and reports different types of scams you could encounter.

Common things to indicate a job posting/recruiting scam:

• You may be asked for your financial information or to verify your credit score before employment commences.
• You may be asked to send money directly as a starting cost for the job, to secure an interview or as part of the onboarding process.
• You may be asked to accept a wire transfer and pass it along to someone else, while keeping a small portion for yourself as a fee. In almost all cases, this money is stolen and you may be unknowingly committing a crime.

Follow these tips to avoid job posting/recruiting scams:

• Review job postings carefully before applying. Look out for poor grammar, awkward language or misspellings.
• Notice if a posting purports to represent a reputable company, but there is no working link to the business or mismatched domains, or if there is difficulty with locating an address, business phone number and/or email address.
• Be skeptical when contacted from personal email addresses (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.). A legitimate recruiter, HR representative, or hiring manager will contact you from their corporate email and never a Gmail, Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo, or other free personal email address.
• Never pay to get an interview or job. ServiceNow will never ask you to send money to acquire a job or interview.
• Do not accept money or agree to money transfers.
• Use reputable job search websites, such as ServiceNow’s career portal, LinkedIn, Indeed and Glassdoor.
• Do not give personal bank account numbers, Paypal or credit card information to an employer. A recruiter or other ServiceNow employee would never directly ask a candidate or employee for financial information; banking information would be submitted by a new hire directly through a payroll provider’s portal, after the first day of onboarding.
• Take extra precaution when applying for remote jobs and verify the position on ServiceNow Careers site.
