The Rise of Recruitment Scams

Fake job postings, recruitment scams, and impersonation attacks are rising at an alarming rate, damaging brand reputation and deceiving job seekers. As more businesses have moved their recruitment online and embraced remote work, opportunistic fraudsters have followed suit, creating sophisticated schemes that hook both job seekers and employers alike.

Key Threats:

Fake Job Ads

Scammers create fraudulent listings with high salaries and attractive benefits to lure unsuspecting job seekers into providing personal data or making payments.

Interview scams

Scammers lure job seekers into fake interviews via text, email, or video — then request personal details or payment under the guise of a job offer.

HR & Executive Impersonation

Fraudsters pose as company recruiters, using fake email addresses and profiles to conduct fraudulent interviews and collect sensitive information.

Phishing & Data Theft

Cybercriminals use fake career pages or job offer emails to trick applicants into revealing confidential details such as Social Security numbers and bank information.

Rogue Domains & Websites

Scammers register similar domain names to your official website, hosting fake job portals that exploit your company’s reputation.

AI’s Role

Using generative AI has made it much easier to craft convincing and tailored job postings, as well as build professional-looking websites in record timing.
