What to expect from your Recruiter

Scams take place across many industries and recruitment is no different, with fraudulent attempts often leading towards requests for personal or banking information.

If you receive communication via email (with no prior context) about a role at FareHarbor and you aren’t sure about the legitimacy, please know:

1. Our FareHarbor team will never ask for money at any point in the recruitment process. This is not part of our practice at any stage. If anyone is asking for your credit card or banking information in relation to a role at FareHarbor, this is not a legitimate FareHarbor interaction and most likely fraudulent.
2. You can always check our job board and apply to a role that you are interested in – our team will reach out to any candidate that seems to be a good fit. If we have reached out to you and we see you apply, we’ll know you are interested!
3. The first step in our interview process is always an initial chat (phone or video call) with a member of our Recruitment Team, usually followed by an interview process where you may meet with other member(s) of the team during scheduled times. If you are receiving a job offer without having gone through the interview process, it is not a legitimate role at FareHarbor.

If you are interested in a role at FareHarbor, you can always apply directly to any job posting. This will be a guaranteed way to ensure that the role is legitimate and you will be speaking to a member of the FareHarbor Recruitment Team if it seems to be a mutual fit.
