We have all been to a job posting website or two and maybe even signed up seeing that there are considerable opportunities that can be found on job portals. After you sign up, a lot of jobs and information is conveyed to you through SMS and emails, most of which are automated. At Shine.com, these communications are handled by automated systems that match jobs and candidate independently of human intervention. These algorithms are updated to work better all the time. Similar algorithms also inform recruiters of your candidature for their job posts. And everything is fine till now!
Things go from bad to worse when fake recruiters and con men use these job portals to play out their fraudulence. With affordable job posting plans comes the risk of accepting fake job posts as well. However tight we secure the posting process and the job posts, they still slip through a lot. Job posting through fake credentials and malicious intents has been a trouble for all job portals inciting legal and criminal complaints against them. While it is easier to prove it legally that we are not involved, it is much more important for users to understand what is fake and what is not. So here are all the tips to consider when searching for a job.
Any job scam can be identified through following signs and signals:
Similar signs can be used as red flags to identify fake job posts. However, not all jobs that have similar traits are fake. Contacting the recruiter or applying for the job can be considered but with precaution. After applying or during your search, you may be contacted by recruiters who are considering you for the job. It is imperative to be very careful during this part of the process. Most job scams and fraudulence is conducted during this phase.
Fake job offers and scammy interview calls have a few patterns in common. The most important of all is the eventual push towards payments of fees and dues, i.e. extorting money. If you find yourself in a situation where someone is asking for or forcing you to pay any kind of money for getting you a job, simply walk away and also complain to the authorities. You should also inform about the same to us via email: compliance@shine.com. With that, here's how you can detect fake job interview calls and job scams:
Similar or different malpractices will be seen in the person's behavior during the interactions. They may even go ahead and demean a person to break them mentally and extort money. If you see these signs or sense something fishy behind job offers, beware.
