A Warning about Recruiting Scams

Thank you for your interest in Socure. Cybercriminals are posing as company recruiters and using fake job advertisements and employment offers to get people to hand over personal information. Be alert and never provide financial information or payment to anyone claiming to offer a job opportunity. 

Please be cautious of the following points.

Communications

• Unsolicited communications from an individual or websites with which you are unfamiliar, or whose domain name is inconsistent with the actual business.
• Correspondence from free e-mail accounts like Gmail, instead of those associated with Socure (i.e.,  socure.com or socure.me). Our recruiters may initiate communication with candidates via LinkedIn, however, employees will not solicit candidates through phone numbers or email addresses unassociated with Socure.
• Communications that do not include information about a specific job opening (or the job description is vague) and/or extend a job offer without an interview.
• Unsolicited communication where the recruiter claims to have seen your resume on a site with which you are not familiar.
• Communications at the application phase requesting sensitive personal data or information, such as your national identification number, date of birth, social security number, bank account information, passport information or any number appearing on identity documents, with the exception of identity verification requests from a socure.com URL. Socure will never request that you provide sensitive personal data through text, email or phone.

Interviews

• Socure will not utilize Microsoft Teams to conduct interviews.
• Socure will only use our company account on Zoom for interviews. To verify our Zoom account, click the Meeting Information icon (shield with a checkmark) in the top left corner of an active meeting screen, and confirm the invitation link lists “socure” in the address.

General

• Socure will never request monetary payments at any point during the hiring process.
•  Be cautious of job opportunities that come from people you do not know and appear “too good to be true.”

If you believe you’re a victim of a job scam, report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or your state attorney general. To learn more about job scams, read the FBI’s public service announcement or visit the FTC site. Please do not hesitate to contact us at legal@socure.com if you think that a communication or career opportunity that you have received from Socure may not be legitimate.
