COHIRE COMMUNITY SAFETY

Your Safety Matters. Help Us Keep CoHire Safe.

CoHire is building a connected talent and hiring community where people, recruiters, employers, businesses and opportunities can discover and connect.

OUR COMMITMENT

Building a More Trustworthy CoHire Community

A safer professional community depends on awareness, responsible participation and the willingness to speak up when something does not look right.

STOP

Don't Rush

Pause before sending money, sharing sensitive information, clicking unexpected links or accepting an offer under pressure.

VERIFY

Check Before You Act

Independently verify the company, recruiter, job opportunity, communication and any request being made to you.

REPORT

Help Protect Others

If something appears suspicious, tell CoHire. Your report may help us review activity and protect other community members.

KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS

Common Job and Recruitment Scams

Scams can look professional. Look beyond logos, job titles and polished messages and verify the opportunity independently.

01

Fake Job Offers

An offer arrives without a meaningful interview or without enough information about the employer, role or hiring process.

02

Payment Requests

Someone asks you to pay for a job, interview, placement, registration, training, verification or equipment.

03

Fake Recruiters

A person claims to represent a company or agency but cannot independently establish their identity or association.

04

CoHire Impersonation

Someone claims to be from CoHire, uses CoHire branding or says CoHire has authorized a suspicious offer or request.

05

Sensitive Information Requests

Unexpected requests for passwords, OTPs, banking information, identity documents or other sensitive information.

06

Urgency and Pressure

You are pushed to transfer money, click a link, share information or accept an offer before you can verify it.

07

Suspicious Links or Files

Unexpected links, attachments or websites are presented as part of a job or recruitment process.

08

Unrealistic Opportunities

Guaranteed employment, unusually high income, instant selection or substantial rewards with little effort can be warning signs.

A SIMPLE RULE

CoHire Will Never Ask You to Pay for a Job

Be especially cautious when someone connects a job opportunity with a payment, financial transaction or request for sensitive credentials.

  • Pay money to access a job opportunity
  • Share your CoHire password or OTP
  • Transfer money because someone claims to represent CoHire
  • Provide payment credentials through an unexpected request
  • Trust a communication simply because it uses CoHire branding
BEFORE YOU PROCEED

Stop. Verify. Then Act.

A few minutes of verification can help you avoid a costly mistake.

1

Verify the Company

Visit the company's official website and independently check its identity, contact information and hiring activity.

2

Verify the Recruiter

Check whether the recruiter is genuinely associated with the organization they claim to represent.

3

Understand the Job

Make sure the role, responsibilities, location, compensation and hiring process are clear.

4

Check the Communication

Look carefully at email addresses, phone numbers, websites, documents and messages. Do not rely only on branding.

5

Protect Your Information

Do not unnecessarily share passwords, OTPs, banking information or identity documents with unknown parties.

6

Take Your Time

Do not let someone else's urgency become your risk. Verify first, especially when money or sensitive information is involved.

PROTECTING THE COHIRE NAME

Someone Claiming to Be From CoHire?

Scammers may use company names, logos or professional-looking messages to make a communication appear legitimate.

If someone claims to represent CoHire and asks for money, sensitive information, unusual payments, account credentials or other unexpected action, stop and verify the communication independently.

If you believe someone is misusing the CoHire name, brand, platform or community, please report it to us.

Report CoHire Impersonation

Remember

  • Do not share passwords or OTPs.
  • Do not transfer money because someone claims to represent CoHire.
  • Do not trust unexpected requests simply because CoHire branding is used.
  • Verify suspicious communications independently.
  • Report suspected misuse of the CoHire name.
