Job Safety Tips

Protect yourself from job scams and fake recruiters. Every fresher must read this before applying anywhere online.

🚨

Important Warning

Jobdexo will never ask you to pay any fee to apply for jobs. Legitimate companies do not charge application fees. If anyone claiming to be from Jobdexo or a company recruiter asks you to pay money, it is a scam. Report it immediately.

Red Flags — Spot a Fake Job

❌ They Ask for Money

Any job that asks you to pay a registration fee, training fee, security deposit, or documentation fee is 100% a scam. Legitimate companies never charge candidates.

❌ Unverified Email Domains

Beware of recruiters using Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail instead of official company email domains like @tcs.com or @infosys.com.

❌ Unrealistic Salary Promises

If a freshers job offers salaries with no experience required or a guaranteed job in 7 days — it is too good to be true.

❌ WhatsApp-Only Recruitment

Legitimate companies never conduct the entire hiring process over WhatsApp. Real processes involve official portals, emails, and structured interviews.

❌ Suspicious Apply Links

Before clicking any apply link, check that it leads to the official company domain. Be wary of URL shorteners or random redirect links.

❌ Asks for Aadhaar or Bank Details Early

Never share your Aadhaar number, bank account, PAN card, or OTP with any recruiter before you have a verified offer letter.

❌ Extreme Urgency Pressure

Scammers create artificial urgency. Legitimate hiring has standard timelines and never pressures you to act within hours.

❌ No Online Presence

Search the company name on Google. If there is no official website, LinkedIn page, or credible news — be very cautious.

Safe Job Hunting Practices

✓

Always Verify on the Official Website

Before applying anywhere — including from Jobdexo — visit the company official career page directly. Search Company Name careers on Google and apply from there too.

✓

Research the Company

Check the company on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and Ambitionbox. Look for reviews from employees. If the company has no employees listed on LinkedIn — be cautious.

✓

Use a Separate Job Hunt Email

Create a separate Gmail account just for job applications. This protects your primary inbox and makes it easy to track all job-related communications.

✓

Never Share OTPs

No legitimate recruiter will ever ask for an OTP. OTPs are personal and sharing them can result in account theft or financial fraud.

✓

Protect Your Resume

Remove your full Aadhaar number, passport number, and bank details from your resume. You can share sensitive documents only after receiving a verified official offer letter.

✓

Trust Your Instincts

If something feels wrong — the recruiter is too pushy, the salary is unrealistic, or the process seems unusual — trust your gut and step back.

✓
