How to check that a job offer is real

1. You are asked to pay. For training, equipment, “verification”, a visa or a deposit. Employers pay you, never the reverse.
2. Everything happens in a messenger. No video call, no email from the company’s domain, no page on its site.
3. The address does not match. The recruiter writes from a free mailbox or a look-alike domain.
4. The offer comes too easily. No real interview, or an offer within hours of the first message.
5. They want access. Bank login, card details, a seed phrase, or your help moving money or parcels.
6. They send something to run. A “test task”, an installer or a repository from a source you cannot verify.
7. The pay is unreal and the deadline is today. Far above the market for little work, with pressure to decide at once.

1. Find the same role on the company’s own careers page. If it is not there, ask the company through the contact on its site.
2. Check the sender’s address against the company’s domain, letter by letter.
3. Look the recruiter up: a profile with history at that company, colleagues, older posts.
4. Keep the process inside the company’s hiring system or email. Decline to move to a private chat.
5. Send no documents beyond a resume until there is a written offer you have verified with the company.

• Never share a seed phrase or a private key, and never “connect a wallet to sign onboarding”. No employer needs either.
• Run test tasks, repositories and “audit this code” requests only in a disposable environment with no wallets or keys on it.
• If pay is in tokens, ask for the terms in writing: amount, vesting, and what happens if the token cannot be sold.
• Confirm the team through the project’s official site and channels, not through links the recruiter sends.

1. Pay to get paid. You “rate products” or “like videos” for small sums, then are told to deposit money to unlock your earnings. A job that asks you to top up an account is not a job.
2. The cheque that is too big. You receive a cheque or a transfer for more than agreed and are asked to send the difference back. The first payment later bounces; yours does not.
3. Forwarding parcels or money. “Receive packages at home and send them on” and “process payments through your account” are how stolen goods and money are moved. The person holding them is the one the police find.
4. The interview that needs you to install something. A “meeting app”, a “coding test” repository or a script to “fix your microphone” that carries a program stealing passwords and crypto wallets. Real companies interview in ordinary video-call tools. Open any test project only on a machine with no wallets and no saved passwords; in an editor such as VS Code keep Restricted Mode on and look for tasks that start by themselves.

Checked every hour: that each job still exists on the employer’s own hiring system, where it came from, and when it was posted. The address the Apply button opens is written under the button on every job page, so you can see where you are going before you click.

Not checked: what happens after you leave this site, how an employer treats applicants, and whether a company can pay. How we contact people: we do not. Nobody from Hiring Right Now will ever write to you first, offer you a job, or ask for money, documents or wallet access. Our only contact is Telegram @orderbulkreviews.

Something looks wrong? Every job page has a “Report a problem with this listing” link. A report about money, an install request or a move to a chat app is looked at first.

Every listing here is read from the employer’s own hiring system (Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby), links straight to that posting and is checked again every hour; a role that disappears from the employer’s page is marked closed the same day. Each job page names its source and the date of the last check. We do not accept anonymous postings, and we never ask you for money, documents or an account. Details: how listings are collected and today’s data status.

Act the same day. Call your bank or card issuer and ask to stop or dispute the payment. Change the passwords of any account you shared, starting with email. If a seed phrase or key was exposed, move the funds to a new wallet at once. Then report it: in the United States to reportfraud.ftc.gov and ic3.gov; in the United Kingdom to Action Fraud; elsewhere to your national consumer-protection body or police cyber unit. Tell the real company too, so it can warn other candidates.
