Three short steps. Go at your own pace. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Step 1 of 3: Read the message

Step 1 of 3: Read the message
Here is a made-up recruiter message, like one you might get by text or email. Nothing here is a real company or person.
Step 2 of 3: Spot possible warning signs
JobVerify points out four possible warning signs. Each one is labeled in words and numbered. A warning sign is a reason to look closer, not proof of a scam.
Step 3 of 3: Read the example report
The report says how much caution to take and what to check next. It never says for certain that a recruiter is fake or real. You decide, after checking for yourself.
Example message: Hi! I'm Dana from Brightpath Talent (example). You've been selected for a remote Data Entry role paying $45/hr. To start, buy your equipment through our vendor and send a photo of your ID to brightpath-hiring@gmail.com. Reply today — spots are limited!
- Asks for an ID document before any interview — “send a photo of your ID”
- Asks you to pay or buy something up front — “buy your equipment through our vendor”
- Uses a free email address, not a company domain — “brightpath-hiring@gmail.com”
- Pressure to act quickly — “Reply today — spots are limited!”
