"As if looking for a job isn't challenging enough, today you must watch out for fake job postings online. Whether you've been out of the military for some time and are looking to make a career change or this will be your first civilian job, knowing how to spot a fake job posting is vital today. As more people seek remote, work-from-home jobs, the chances of being scammed by an illegitimate posting have increased."
"Does the Job Posting Disclose an Actual Company Name? Sometimes online postings aren't real but are instead used to entice candidates to submit personal information, which is later sold to companies seeking to help job seekers. Initially you may deal with a recruiter who can't disclose the company name, but as soon as you're asked for anything more than a resume and email, ask to know the company name."
Remote hiring and online job searches have increased exposure to fake job postings that aim to collect and sell personal information. Confirm that a posting lists an actual company name and avoid sharing more than a resume and email until the employer is identified. Check company careers pages and use personal networks to verify listings, especially for large firms. Verify recruiter identities via LinkedIn or other company resources to ensure they work for the claimed employer. Never provide Social Security numbers or banking details until a legitimate offer and required background check are in place.
