There are recruitment scams where fraudulent entities claim to represent IBM in their hiring processes. These scams often involve requests for money, banking information, or personal identifiers under the pretense of securing employment. These scams are becoming more elaborate, frequently appearing as legitimate recruitment efforts through third-party websites, emails, phone calls, and social media messages.
To help you identify potential fraudulent job offers, consider the following points:
IBM never solicits money or payments from applicants during any stage of the recruitment process, nor does it require such payments to secure a job offer.
IBM does not utilize free public email services like Gmail or Yahoo for official communications. All IBM communications end with an ibm.com email address.
IBM primarily hires talent directly; however, in some cases, we work with authorized recruitment agencies. If you are contacted by someone claiming to represent IBM, please verify their legitimacy and reach out to IBM through our official contact channels for confirmation.
For your safety, we advise against responding to unsolicited business propositions or offers from strangers. Refrain from sharing personal or financial information with individuals you do not know.
If you encounter such proposals or become a victim of recruitment scams, notify your local law enforcement agency. Provide them with all relevant information, including email addresses, phone numbers, and details of communications received from the scammers.
