Scam Alert: Protect Yourself from Recruitment Fraud

It has come to our attention that scammers are impersonating our company to offer fake job opportunities. Please read the information below to protect yourself from recruitment scams.
YER USA - Recruiters
  • Requests for Money
    We never request any kind of payment, fees, bank details, or any other personal/sensitive information during the recruitment process. Any message asking for “application fees” or “equipment costs” is a scam.
  • Only Trust Official Email Domains and Professional Channels
    All legitimate communication from us will come from an email ending in @yer.com. Be cautious of emails from free services like Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail.
  • Communication Through Non-Professional Channels
    We only contact candidates through official business channels*. Unsolicited job offers via messaging apps are not from us.
  • Too Good to Be True? It Probably Is
    If someone guarantees you a job or promises unusually high pay for little work, it’s likely a scam.
  • Unsolicited Job Offers
    If you receive a job offer out of the blue without applying or interviewing, it’s likely fraudulent.
  • Pressure Tactics
    Scammers often create a sense of urgency to push you into making quick decisions.
  • Lack of Company Information
    If you can’t find any company information online or find it difficult to verify if a company exists, this is a big red sign.

*Communication from YER USA may come from recruiters/consultants, talent sourcers or support professionals. At any time, we will use email, InMails through LinkedIn (or possibly Indeed), phone calls or text messages. If we have not had previous contact, we will always identify ourselves as working for YER USA and explain why we are reaching out: application, interesting profile that matches current job openings, follow-up call after an interview, interview scheduling etc.
We always identify ourselves and if there is mutual interest, we begin the recruitment process. We never send unsolicited job offers period.

What to Do If You Think You’re Contacted by a Scammer

  • Do not share personal information or send money.
  • Verify the sender’s email by checking the domain, and look up the person on LinkedIn.
  • Visit our website and/or LinkedIn job postings to confirm whether the job posting is real and if the sender works for YER USA.
  • Report suspicious messages:
    o To the Federal Trade Commission: ReportFraud.ftc.gov
    o To your local authorities or bank if personal info was shared.
