Job searching is tough, but staying vigilant against phishing scams is crucial. Always verify recruiter credentials and consult reputable sources.
So true — the job search is already tough without having to worry about scams. Appreciate you sharing this and helping others stay informed.
Only recently I replied to a posting for a cybersecurity analyst from Octo Studios, and it sounded like I was being offered an interview, however the email I received did not come directly from an Octo Studios email address, and started to ask for information that sent up red flags. Rather than respond, I called octo studios directly to ask if they had reached out to me. There was a response indicating they didn't, and didn't care that a LinkedIn job posting linked to them was being used as a scam front. The representative passed me to a superior so I could let them know they were being impersonated, and the kid basically said "uh-huh" and hung up! It definitely doesn't encourage reporting.
A crucial reminder at any time of year. The job search process can make people vulnerable, and these scams are becoming far too common. Thank you for proactively sharing resources and helping protect candidates—it's a vital service to the community.

11moWhat is the best way to find a job with Brooksource? is there a particular recruiter you use? I get invitations to apply for you all but never get a follow up. Usually from linked-in. I just want to make sure it's legit.
