What Is Recruitment Fraud?
Recruitment fraud is a type of scam where individuals or groups impersonate employers and offer fake job opportunities to solicit payment or personal information for financial gain.Â
These bad actors often use the company’s name (or parent company name), branding, logos, and even real employee names without authorization.
