Let's talk employment scams ..... Recently, I came across a situation involving someone who was involved in a highly sophisticated employment scam. Fortunately, they questioned the legitimacy of the employment offer by contacting the company HR department directly, revealing that the "offer" they had received was not legitimate. Unfortunately, it was not before they found themselves excited about a new opportunity, and even filling out fake tax documents with all of their personal information. Scammers are usually after information and/or money, and without a high degree of due diligence on the part of the job seeker, it can be hard to distinguish the real from the fake. They are also becoming increasingly common. Check out this article on this very topic, learn about some of the more common scams, as well as how to avoid falling prey to them: https://lnkd.in/gHVH6uJN

Beware of job scams! It's common to see more scam job ads circulating than legitimate ones. Watch out for red flags such as offers that seem too good to be true, companies seeking a large number of hires, unrealistically high salaries for entry-level positions, and overly simple job requirements like just a Grade 10 education and no experience. Stay vigilant to protect yourself from potential scams.

HUMOROUS UNTIL IT’S NOT….. I read a post yesterday that made me scratch my head. The post suggested “don’t resign until the background check is complete”. In my mind I thought a person would know in advance if their background check as well as the drug test would be an issue. Then one commenter wrote that an offer was extended and accepted, the prospective new hire tendered the customary (though not mandatory) 14 day notice. THREE days before start date the new hire received an email that the new job was cancelled. What a sh*tstorm that presents! Do you give notice with fingers crossed that the new role won’t be snatched away? Do you not give notice? On start date of the new job, call the employer to let them know that they are actually the previous employer? This is just one example of how the world of employment has turned into a tsunami.

Program and Project Manager | Devices, Hardware, Software | I Help Teams Develop Products And Implement Processes Which Improve Health And Wellbeing
If you post a job online, please do your due diligence on the platform you post to. Not too long ago I received a LinkedIn notification for an interesting looking Program Manager position. Midway through the job application, I was shown a paywall saying I could complete my application and get noticed by the manager if I paid $95 for a membership. Of course I did not move forward from there. Regardless of whether or not the job poster was aware that candidates are shown a paywall, it reflected very poorly on their company. I could just as easily have looked up the manager's email and written to them if I really wanted to get noticed. #jobsearch #jobapplication #ATS #scams #badrecruiting

There are 1000s of job scams going on. Make sure you don't fall for one. Here are a few tips on how to spot fake job offers; Unrealistic promises: Offers with extremely high salaries, little to no experience required, or guaranteed employment are likely too good to be true. Urgency and pressure: Legitimate companies rarely pressure candidates for immediate decisions. Beware of offers requiring immediate action or claiming limited availability. Unusual payment methods: Offers asking for upfront payments for things like training, software, or background checks are scams. Unfamiliar email addresses: Be cautious of emails from free email providers or personal accounts instead of official company domains. Reluctance to provide details: If they hesitate to answer questions or provide clear information about the company, proceed with caution. Being cautious and doing your research can help you avoid falling victim to fake job offers and protect yourself from potential scams. Helpful?
