Warnings About Recruitment Scams
Scammers pretending to be recruiters from well-known companies, including Qualtrics, pose a risk for job seekers. These scammers use various tactics to appear legitimate in order to obtain sensitive personal information or money. Candidates should be vigilant and look for signs that an individual reaching out to them is actually an employee or agency recruiter acting on behalf of a business before engaging.
Legitimate recruiters or agencies typically:
- Offer detailed information about job roles and the hiring process.
- Do not rush candidates; real recruitment processes take time, while scammers often create a sense of urgency to obtain information or money.
- Have identifiable email addresses that end with the company domain.
Common signs of a scam include:
- Urgency: Claims of needing sensitive information or a 24-hour turnaround for a start date.
- Unusual requests: Asking for personal information, like social security numbers or bank details, in strange ways, such as over direct messages.
- Difficulty verifying: If you contact the company to confirm the recruiter's identity, they may not be able to provide verification
