Scammers sometimes pose as recruiters from real companies. Here's how to tell a genuine Brightstone recruiter from a fake one.
We never ask you to pay to apply for a job.
Applying for jobs and being placed by Brightstone is always free. Our optional career services are only ever sold under a written quote from an @brightstonetalent.com email address, and are never a condition of getting a job.
A genuine Brightstone recruiter will
- Email you from an address ending in @brightstonetalent.com
- Speak with you by phone or video before any offer
- Explain the role, the employer and the pay clearly
- Ask for ID and tax details only after an offer, through secure channels
- Be happy for you to call us on +1 (973) 381-9316 to check
We will never
- Ask for a fee, deposit or payment to apply, interview or start work
- Ask you to buy equipment, gift cards or cryptocurrency
- Send a check and ask you to return part of the money
- Interview or offer you a job only by text or chat apps
- Use Gmail, Yahoo or other free email addresses
- Ask for your bank details, passwords or one-time codes over chat
Think you've been contacted by a scammer?
- Stop replying and don't send money or personal documents.
- Contact us at info@brightstonetalent.com or +1 (973) 381-9316 to check whether the job and recruiter are real.
