Our company is being used for a scam. The scammers pose as our company and try to get people to “apply” for a job, but it’s all a fraudulent attempt to get Social Security numbers and such. We even had our Handshake account hacked by them, which resulted in us being locked out. So far, between advice from Google and my IT team, we can shut down this instance (nothing stopping the bad actors from starting another), and we can put out messaging on our socials and website. What else can we do?

“I think there’s a special place in hell reserved for these scammers.”
Unfortunately, it is a management position.
Unfortunately, you’re probably right.
HR teams face many challenges today; however, one problem HR professionals must face is that many scammers impersonating as companies can put applicants and the companies they work for at risk. Solutions such as through job postings through Skillioz and automating the verification process helps them be able to easily define their hiring process as well as protect their applicants from fraud. Using both advanced technology and providing solid guidance support, makes it possible for companies to be able to remain vigilant while building their trusting relationships through the whole process of hiring.
Ooooh – this is so timely! My partner got a weird scam recruitment email. The scammer tried to “recruit” her for a job at her own company. HER job at her company. We did manage to clock that it was a scam, but couldn’t figure out what the person’s game was. Didn’t realize they’re digging for social security numbers.
