Always protect your personal information online by understanding when you’re responding to a valid opportunity
– or when you might be dealing with a scammer. The following list describes actions an HNI recruiter would NEVER take.
HNI recruiters would never:
Reach out to you from Gmail, Yahoo!, or Hotmail email accounts.
Initiate contact with you or offer a job through social media messaging services, like Facebook Messenger or Google Hangouts. Note: In limited circumstances, a recruiter may reach out via LinkedIn.
Ask you to send your Social Security Number or banking information in an email message or social media messaging service.
Pressure you to make an immediate decision about a job offer.
