How to report suspicious job posts on JobsVerifier (and what happens next)
The online job market has made finding opportunities easier than ever—but it has also opened the door to misleading, fake, and sometimes dangerous job listings. From scam recruiters to ghost jobs and data-harvesting schemes, job seekers today must stay alert.
At JobsVerifier, trust and safety come first. That’s why the platform doesn’t just verify employers—it also empowers candidates to report suspicious job posts and actively participates in keeping the ecosystem clean.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to report a suspicious job on JobsVerifier, what signs to look for, and what happens behind the scenes after you submit a report.
Why Reporting Suspicious Jobs Matters
Every report helps protect not just you—but thousands of other job seekers.
Suspicious job listings can lead to:
- Wasted time and emotional stress
- Identity theft or phishing attempts
- Requests for illegal fees or unpaid trial work
- False hope from roles that never existed
When candidates report questionable listings, they help create a safer, more transparent hiring environment for everyone.
Common Red Flags to Watch For
Before reporting, it helps to know what qualifies as suspicious. Some common warning signs include:
🚩 Vague Job Descriptions
Posts that lack clear responsibilities, requirements, or reporting structure.
🚩 Unrealistic Salary Claims
Very high pay with little experience required—especially without justification.
🚩 Requests for Money
Any job asking for “registration fees,” “training fees,” or upfront payments is a major red flag.
🚩 Personal Email Communication
Employers using free email services instead of official company domains.
🚩 Pressure Tactics
Messages like “limited slots,” “apply within hours,” or “instant hiring—no interview.”
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to report.
