Important Cyber Safety, Privacy & Data Security Notice for Job Seekers

Dear Job Seekers,

Your online safety is our priority. As you explore job opportunities, please keep the following cyber safety, privacy, and data security tips in mind:

Cyber Safety & Fraud Prevention:

• Verify Job Listings: Be cautious of job offers that seem too good to be true. Always cross-check company details on their official website.
• Beware of Scams: Legitimate employers will never ask for upfront payments, personal financial details, or passwords.
• We Do Not Charge Any Fees: We never request money from candidates unless you choose to purchase a premium service directly from us.
• Be Cautious with Links: Clicking unknown links may lead to financial loss or data theft.
• Beware of Fake Recruiters: Always verify recruiter identities via LinkedIn and the official company website.
• Do Not Share OTPs: Legitimate employers will never ask for OTPs, security codes, or multi-factor authentication details.
• Be Cautious of Video Interview Links: Ensure links are from official company domains (e.g., Zoom, Microsoft Teams).
• Use Strong Passwords: Create unique and secure passwords for job portals.
• Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): If supported, enable 2FA for extra security.
• Regularly Monitor Your Digital Footprint: Be mindful of your personal information online.

Privacy & Data Security:

• Secure Your Personal Information: Share sensitive details only after verifying the employer.
• Use a Separate Email for Banking: Keep banking emails separate from job applications.
• Limit Personal Address Details: Share only necessary address details.
• Check Website Security: Ensure job portals have HTTPS in their URL.
• Know Your Data Rights: Be aware of data protection laws like GDPR and India’s DPDP Act (2023).

Report Suspicious Activity:

If you come across fraudulent job postings, phishing attempts, or suspicious recruiters, report them immediately to the job board or relevant authorities.
