Seen something suspicious? Report it at hr@jobspherehr.com.
1. Never pay to get hired
Real employers do not charge for training, equipment, background checks or "starter kits."
2. Beware of fake checks
If someone sends a check and asks you to deposit it and send money back, it is a scam. The check will bounce.
3. Check the details
Look for a real company website, a business email address and a specific job description. Be wary of chat-app-only interviews.
4. Trust your gut
Pressure to act fast, promises of high pay for easy work and requests for your bank or ID details early are all red flags.
