    Be careful about job portal scam

    Our jobs portal is fully automated and finds daily new job opportunities related to the companies listed on EVE Score.

    Please remember that we do not endorse any websites related to these jobs opportunities and stay alerts to avoid scams.


    A few reminders:

    - Never, ever pay anything to apply for a job. Companies should be the one paying, not you
    - Never agree to buy equipment in order to start a job - this includes buying a laptop, work from home equipment
    - Never agree to pay for mandatory training to onboard for a new position (even if they say that they will reimburse you for later)
    - If the recruiter sends you an email from a domain that is different from the company website, ask them to communicate with you via email belonging to the company. Stay away from Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo or domain that looks close to the company they are portraying
    - Don’t give personal information during the application process - social security number, bank account, home address, date of birth - this could be used to target you through a social engineering attack later on
    - Don’t complete a project for free. Many companies might ask you to get through a test, that’s one thing. But less scrupulous companies will actually ask you to deliver a project for free
