Check a suspicious job offer

Paste the job offer or message and, if available, the contact address. Remove your personal details; do not submit ID documents, bank details or passwords.

Checks text and recognised links: 1 credit. The employer and recruiter must be verified independently.

Confirm outside the message: Find the company's official site and careers section, then contact HR using independently obtained details. A missing careers listing alone does not prove fraud: some positions are handled by agencies.

HOW IT WORKS

A clear answer in three steps

1

Submit the item

Paste or import the suspicious item without interacting with it further.

2

Run the checks

SecurCheck examines technical signals and available sources to assess the risk.

3

Take the right action

The report explains the evidence, limitations and practical precautions to take.

What SecurCheck checks

Fake recruiters can impersonate employers to collect identity documents, bank details or fees. Check the request, then independently confirm the role with the employer.

  • Personal document requests
  • Fees or equipment purchase demands
  • Recognised links and domains
  • Recruiter and position to verify separately

What to do when something looks suspicious

Stop interacting with the item, preserve the evidence and contact the person or organisation through a separately verified channel.

A SecurCheck score supports a decision but is not a certification or an absolute guarantee. New, private or unavailable signals may remain unobservable.

Protect your employer brand and hiring process from fake recruiters

Fraudsters copy an employer's name and visual identity to post fake jobs or approach candidates. They may request identity documents, bank details or training fees, harming candidates and the employer's reputation.

SecurCheck Business helps HR and communications teams examine suspicious offers: document demands, payments, links and contact channels. It then guides independent confirmation with the hiring team and reporting of impersonating posts.

The analysis does not certify a recruiter's identity or guarantee detection time. A generic email or messaging app alone does not prove fraud.
