Recruitment scams are increasingly targeting job seekers through fake job postings, impersonator recruiters, and phishing messages. Key red flags include vague job descriptions, recruiters who dodge questions, offers from free email domains (Gmail, Yahoo), requests for money, and interview processes conducted entirely via text or messaging apps. Huntress outlines how its legitimate hiring process works: all recruiter emails come from official company domains, job offers are only posted on the official Careers page, interviews always include video with cameras on, and candidates are never asked for money. The company actively monitors job boards and social media for fraudulent postings and works to have them removed.
