Recruitment scams warning
Learn how to identify and protect yourself against individuals impersonating Pontera recruiters.
Thank you for considering Pontera.
We invite you to explore our current job openings on our Careers page. It has come to our attention that individuals have been targeted by scammers falsely representing our company in their recruitment efforts. These scams often involve fraudulent emails, job postings, and calendar invites. We want to ensure that potential candidates are aware of these scams and understand our legitimate recruitment process.
How to identify a recruitment scam:
- Fraudulent emails: Scammers may use email addresses that appear similar to our official domain. Always verify that the email is from our legitimate Pontera domain.
- Unsolicited job offers: Be cautious of unsolicited job offers, especially if you have not applied for a position with our company.
- Unexpected video invites: Beware of unexpected calendar invites (e.g. Microsoft Teams or Skype) for interviews or meetings. Our recruiters will always provide context and details before scheduling meetings.
- Requests for personal information: We will never ask for sensitive personal information (e.g., Social Security number, banking details) via email or before you have formally accepted an offer.
- Exchange of money: We will never send you any funds or request money from you during the interview or onboarding process.
Our recruitment process:
- All job applications are submitted through our official Careers page or through verified job portals such as LinkedIn.
- Our recruiting team will reach out to candidates using official company email addresses. Always check that the email domain matches the Pontera domain.
- We may partner with external recruiting vendors. If you receive outreach from a recruiting professional outside of Pontera’s organization, please verify that their email domain is connected to a legitimate recruitment agency website. If you’re unsure whether a recruiter is a legitimate Pontera vendor, you can verify with our recruiting team at the email listed below.
- Initial interviews may take place over the phone or via video call, and will always be scheduled after prior communication from a recruiter.
- Formal offer letters will be issued directly from our HR department. Please be sure to check that the email domain matches the Pontera domain.
If you receive any suspicious communications, please verify their authenticity by contacting us directly at recruiting@pontera.com. We take these matters seriously and are committed to protecting the integrity of our recruitment process and the privacy of all individuals.
