In today’s digital world, professionals often explore new opportunities to advance their careers, and seek new avenues to make connections through the internet and social media.

Unfortunately, fraudulent job recruitment scams have become more prevalent.  These scams can be quite damaging for job seekers and can result in the disclosure of personal information, loss of money, and valuable time and resources.

TalentLaunch has become aware of recent fraudulent recruitment activity being conducted by individuals or groups who claim to be third-party recruiters and/or points of contact for our Company.  Examples include sending candidates a request for personal information, conducting online interviews or meetings, making offers of employment, demanding money for employment-related services and activities, or asking the applicant to purchase a laptop or other work-related equipment for the job.  The aim of the fraud is to obtain personally identifying information (e.g., identity theft) and/or money.  The Company’s name is used to try to convey authenticity.

We would like to be very clear that TalentLaunch never requires candidates to make payments during the recruitment process.  If you receive a genuine job offer from us, we will not request a financial contribution for administrative expenses authorized for that role (e.g., a laptop computer, resume services, etc.).  We also recommend that you do not disclose personal or financial materials to anyone that you do not know.

Some red flags and details to consider:

• Requests for financial information such as Social Security numbers or bank account details, especially on an urgent basis, during the application process.
• You’re asked to pay money as part of the hiring process. Be especially cautious if you’re asked to pay for a CV/resume service, background check, training, equipment, application, or other service as a condition of employment.
• You’re pressured to act quickly or keep the communication confidential. Urgency and pressure are common tactics used to prevent you from taking time to verify the opportunity.
• You are being offered a role without having an interview with a current employee on that team. 
• There are grammatical or spelling errors in the communication.
• The preliminary inquiries/reach-out do not make sense for the role. General categories and vague descriptions may be a warning sign.
• The recruiter’s information doesn’t add up. Be cautious if the person’s name, title, email address, LinkedIn profile, company affiliation, or other details are inconsistent.
• The sender’s email address may not be accurate or consistent with other job postings from us.  Email addresses that are slightly different from any business’s primary contact information (“Jane.Doe@[Company].org” vs “John.Doe@[Company].com”) are common warning signs. Emails from TalentLaunch representatives would only be coming from the Jane.Doe@mytalentlaunch.com domain. Legitimate TalentLaunch recruiting communications will come from an official TalentLaunch email address, not a Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, or other personal email account.
• The person’s LinkedIn profile doesn’t match their current employment. Scammers may use the identity or LinkedIn profile of a former employee to appear legitimate.
• You’re given a LinkedIn profile as “proof” of someone’s identity. Review the entire profile, including their current employer, job title, work history, and other details—not just the name and photo. A real LinkedIn profile doesn’t necessarily mean the person contacting you is legitimate. Scammers may impersonate current or former employees and use their real LinkedIn profiles to make fraudulent communications appear credible.

Phishing and other scammers advertise jobs the same way legitimate companies do – often online, leveraging popular job boards and high-traffic social media sites. If you suspect that a job offer is fraudulent, we recommend that you do not respond to it.  If you believe you are the victim of any fraudulent activity, you can report it to the appropriate authorities or your local attorney general’s office. 

TalentLaunch is not responsible for any fraudulent offers and advises prospective candidates to follow the guidance provided above.
