ALERT: Please be aware that scammers often use well-known companies/employers, like Specialized Recruiting Group, to create fake job posts on platforms like LinkedIn and Indeed to get personal information from job seekers. We value your privacy and will not ask for secure information until you’ve completed a phone or in-person interview. Even then, we would only request this information through a secure system and never through text or social media messaging. If you are ever concerned about information that is being requested, please contact our office immediately at 616.608.9681, and we will confirm the authenticity of the job posting.  To learn more about identifying job scams, check out this blog: https://lnkd.in/dsTknqgs
