Beware of job scams
Protect yourself during your job search.
Global scammers may illegally use Horizontal Talent’s name to get your personal information, financial information or money.
Warning signs of job scams
Fake job listings
Difficulty finding credible information online about the company, the recruiter or the mentioned job on the company job board could be red flags of a potential scam.
Personal info requests
Asking for sensitive personal information right away, offering the job without an interview or offering after a very brief interview can be signs of a phishing scam.
Interview scams
Unprofessional language, inconsistent communication or refusal to interview/communicate through standard channels like Zoom or Microsoft Teams are red flags to note.
Pressure tactics
Urging you to make a quick decision or to accept the job offer immediately, without multiple interviews, could be warning signs of freelance or contract work scams.
