Let’s talk about #recruiter #scams The below looks awesome right? - ✅Recruiter - ✅Big name company - ✅Multiple roles! - ✅Cybersecurity - ✅Asking for clearance Start digging further…. Wait a sec this might not be great - ☑️Send an email - ⚠️No previous post history in a year - ⛔️500+ connections, but no other comments or activity in months as a recruiter for this company? - ☢️Uh oh. That big name company has a policy on their website about scams (because they are targeted… a lot) Ben, that seems like a lot of work to weed out #badies. I need a job! I hear you. But, in the world of LinkedIn and especially #security, we are targeted individuals from having shady looking requests for connections to email scams. Harvesting of our identities and data is real. You have to have #shieldsup. I work with a lot of individuals from other countries. I appreciate the culture and have nothing against them. However, I don’t recommend connecting with individuals outside the United States without caution. Honestly, if you are asked for an email resume or you can reply to a message without additional cost…. Vet the person on the other end first. If the person doesn’t seem authentic. Report them as spam. #vettandreject For connections, try to have one or more #trusted mutual connection when possible. This is hard when starting out. If not possible, #vettandreject if necessary. For me, you can follow me all you like. But connections require 10 mutuals. I hope this helps everyone. Check the comments in this post to see some of the reactions: - Send an email to… where? - Why don’t you respond to me? - Suspect markers mentioned above Let me know if you have questions or need additional info. Take care. #mentees
