Candidate safety basics

Never pay to get a job

A legitimate employer should not ask you for transfers, gift cards, crypto, or any other payment as part of the hiring process.

Never send bank details too early

Do not share sensitive financial information before you have verified the company and reached a legitimate contract stage.

Be careful with Telegram-only recruiters

If the recruiter only wants to communicate through Telegram or another private app and avoids normal company channels, treat it as a warning sign.

Check the company website and LinkedIn

Verify that the company has a real website, a credible public presence, and information that matches the role being offered.

Report suspicious jobs to RemoteAI

If something feels unsafe, misleading, or inconsistent, report the job so we can review it and take action quickly.

Use normal caution before moving off-platform

Be extra careful if a recruiter pushes you to leave RemoteAI immediately without giving clear company details or a normal interview process.
