Scammers impersonate real staffing firms to steal personal information and money. Here's how to spot fake job offers, verify legitimate Careerscape communications, and report fraud if you encounter it.
Careerscape takes recruitment fraud seriously. We are aware that scammers may use our company name, logo, or the names of our team members to send fraudulent job offers, conduct fake interviews, or request money or sensitive personal information from job seekers.
These communications are not from Careerscape. We want to help you recognize the warning signs and know what to do if you're targeted.
If someone claiming to represent Careerscape does any of the following, it is not us:
Common tactics used by fraudsters impersonating staffing firms.
Legitimate Careerscape emails come from @cs-recruiters.com only. Watch for misspellings like @cs-recruiter.com, @careerscape-jobs.com, or free email services like Gmail or Yahoo.
If you receive a job offer out of nowhere — especially one you never applied for — treat it with extreme caution. Legitimate recruiters don't send offers without an interview process.
No legitimate employer or staffing agency will ever ask you to pay for a job, training materials, background checks, equipment, or application fees. Period.
Extremely high pay for minimal work, immediate hiring with no screening, guaranteed employment — these are hallmarks of recruitment fraud designed to bypass your judgment.
If you're unsure whether a communication is genuinely from Careerscape, take these steps:
All legitimate Careerscape emails come from @cs-recruiters.com. If the email comes from any other domain, it is not from us.
Go to cs-recruiters.com by typing it into your browser (don't click links in suspicious emails). Check our Jobs page to see if the position exists.
Call or email us using the contact information on our website — not the contact information in the suspicious message. We'll confirm whether the communication is legitimate.
If anyone asks you to pay for anything as part of a job process with Careerscape, stop all communication immediately. It is a scam.
If you believe you've received a fraudulent communication claiming to be from Careerscape, or if you've already provided personal information to a scammer, take these steps immediately:
