Quick answer

How to check if a job post has risk signals

  1. 1Find the employer's official website independently instead of relying only on links in the post.
  2. 2Confirm that the same role appears on the official careers page or a recognized applicant tracking system.
  3. 3Compare the recruiter email domain, company name, job title, pay, and location across sources.
  4. 4Pause if the process involves payments, check deposits, gift cards, crypto, or equipment purchases.
  5. 5Do not share banking details, SSN, or identity documents until the employer and hiring process are verified.

What this checker can tell you

The report separates reassuring details from risk signals and facts the checker could not verify. It reviews secure links, recruiter email patterns, public ATS feeds, payment requests, and the basic details expected in a job posting.

Warning signs to review

  • Requests to pay a fee or move money before starting
  • A recruiter using a personal email with no company verification
  • An offer made without a normal interview or role discussion
  • Early requests for banking details, SSN, or identity documents
  • A link or message whose company name does not match its email or website domain

A report is a starting point

Risk signals do not determine whether an employer or listing is legitimate. Verify the opening through the employer's official website or a contact method you found independently.
