Trust and safety
Stay safe from fake jobs
Job scams copy real companies and real recruiters. Here is how to spot one, and what we do to keep them out.
Warning signs
- You are asked to pay for training, equipment, a visa or a background check before you start.
- You are asked for bank details, a copy of your passport or a crypto wallet before a written offer.
- The recruiter wants to move the conversation to a personal messaging app straight away.
- The pay is far above the market for little work, or the interview is only by text chat.
- The email comes from a free webmail address instead of the company domain.
What Career Calling does
- Every employer passes registry, domain email and identity checks before posting. How verification works
- Employers are re-checked every 90 days and whenever account details change.
- We never charge candidates, and employers agree never to ask candidates for money.
