Protect Yourself from Job Scams
How to Identify Contact from Helios HR
In today's digital landscape, scams come in various forms, from unsolicited phone calls and texts to deceptive emails and letters. Oftentimes, impostors share enticing job offers to lure unsuspecting individuals into divulging personal information. These fraudulent activities mimic the methods of legitimate employers, appearing online through advertisements on job boards and social media platforms. While promising employment opportunities, their true intent is to extract money and personal data. For an up-to-date compilation of recent scams and consumer alerts, we recommend visiting https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/job-scams.
While many staffing agencies, temporary agencies, headhunters, recruitment agencies, and other placement firms operate legitimately, scammers propagate falsehoods about their services, advertise obsolete or fictitious job vacancies, and demand fees for purported services. Authentic placement firms like us at Helios HR typically do not charge applicants; instead, we receive fees from the hiring company for sourcing qualified candidates. Should you receive a request for payment as a candidate, exercise caution as you may be dealing with a scam.
Prior to accepting any job offer or committing to payment, we advise taking precautions to safeguard yourself against job scams.
