It has come to our attention that certain individuals are impersonating HireUrge representatives, contacting job seekers via WhatsApp, Facebook, and text messages with fraudulent job offers. These scammers request personal information under the guise of employment opportunities; do not engage with these suspicious messages.
We employ stringent security measures to protect your data and maintain the integrity of our work. It’s important to note that these scam attempts are not the result of a data breach within our system.
We never use Facebook or WhatsApp messages for any communication purposes.
While we may use text messages to inform candidates in our network of job opportunities, we adhere to strict protocol and would never request personal information from job seekers via SMS channels. Any request for personal information (driver’s license, social insurance number, passport, etc.) will always be via our secure website portal or live chat.
How to respond to suspected scams:
- Do not engage with suspicious texts, Facebook or WhatsApp messages claiming to represent HireUrge
- Delete suspicious messages and block the sender to safeguard your information
- If you are unsure of the legitimacy of any messages, please contact support@hireurge.com or speak to a representative using live chat before engaging with the sender.
Awareness is key in combating these employment scams. We encourage you to share this information with your network to avoid falling victim to these scams. It’s important to note that these individuals impersonate various employment agencies, not just HireUrge.
On a more positive note, if you or someone you know is looking for a job, we would be happy to help! Contact us through email or live chat for support.
