Fraudulent Recruitment Scam: What You Need to Know
Fraudulent recruitment activity has been reported on LinkedIn and other platforms. Scammers posing as Consor representatives promote fake job opportunities, conduct false interviews, and attempt to collect personal or financial information. Consor will never request banking details, payments, or equipment purchases as part of our hiring process. Review our guide below to verify legitimate opportunities, spot scams, and report suspicious activity.
Find Legitimate Job Opportunities from Consor
- Check our careers page – All legitimate openings are at consoreng.com/careers/
- Look for @consoreng.com emails – We never use Gmail, Yahoo, or other email domains.
- Verify with us – If in doubt, contact careers@consoreng.com.
Recruiting Scam Signs to Stay Alert For
- Fake Company Name and Emails: Scammers use the false name “Consor Group” and the domain careers-consoreng.com, which closely resembles our official @consoreng.com email address.
- Fake email examples: michael@careers-consoreng.com, scott@careers-consoreng.com
- Impersonating Recruiters: Scammers may pose as individuals named Scott Johnson and Michael Carson, neither of whom work at Consor.
- Off-Platform Postings: Scammers advertise jobs not listed on Consor’s official careers page hosted on iCIMS.
- Misusing Consor’s Logo: Scammers misuse or alter our logo to appear legitimate.
- Requesting Banking Information: Scammers ask for banking details directly. Consor only collects direct deposit information from employees through ADP’s secure portal after hiring.
- Equipment Purchase Scheme: Scammers request payments or banking details to purchase equipment. Consor provides all equipment directly—employees are never asked to pay.
- Pressuring Candidates: Scammers create urgency with rushed screenings, interviews, or pressure to act quickly.
