❌ Job seekers: Don't get scammed! ❌
A couple of things to look for when the job description is not real:
🚩 Is there a picture for the company name? Don't get me wrong, I know there ARE legit companies that don't have logos or profiles on LinkedIn yet, but more 99.9% of scammers show the title this way.
🚩 Click on the company and go to the company profile. How many followers do they have?
- Do they have info. on Jobs, Life, People?
- Have they posted on their LI feed? Do the posts have TONS of misspelled words? Are the posts ALL in the last couple of days or week (at most)?
🚩 A DEAD giveaway is seen below in the photo. The "Very Important: Check your email inbox after applying for next steps". This gets you away from the LI platform, they send you an email with this questionnaire. It looks completely legit. You answer all of the questions and send it back.
🚩 Another red flag: see how the JD has a different job title at the top? Hiring for a "Data Analyst Coordinator", however in the JD it says "Remote Data Entry Clerk." They will usually just spam a bunch of these with different job titles and forget to change it in the fake JD. Usually these get posted in the overnight hours, U.S. time zones (1am-5am).
🚩 Miraculously, more often than not, you get the job! No phone screen, no Google meet, no interviews....just the job offer.
🚩 A job offer that says you need to pay upfront for all of the "equipment you need to set up your at home office." You are so excited about the offer and the possibility of this $125,000/yr. job that you just landed without an interview, that you figure out a way to do it.
🚩 You send them the money. You never hear from them again.
🚩 Some of them are getting REALLY good, creating a "real profile" on a job application website.
🚩 🚩 Make sure to flag these to LinkedIn by clicking the 3 dots in the top right corner. This gives them the chance to investigate further to see if they are a legit company.
