Recruiter just informed me that I must present proof of employment with w-2 for contract role at Meta. Is this true? I have professional references and a portfolio that shows my work. Why is w-2 or tax info required for applying? Or is this just Meta…? Thx!

That is a serious ask and as a candidate, I would feel hesitant offering this since it contains sensitive info. Are you a 1099 freelancer or working with a recruiting as W2 for this contract role? If 1099, they may want to ensure your resume/background is legit. If W2 through a recruiting firm, your firm should handle this for you and the client should not have privy to this info.

Ask if there is an alternative you can use. Explain that your W2s are sensitive information and you are not willing to share. But, if you do end up sending a copy of the W2 or a paystub, make sure your SSN and other important details are blacked out.
