Sharing so it doesn’t happen to you… I was approached by a reputable company inviting me to apply for a position after seeing my info on LI. I was told it would be a MS Teams interview but chat based so they had a transcript to review later with other team members. When asked why this approach I was told they pulled together a Focus Group and the majority said chat based vs phone would be ideal because they could better express themselves with GIFs and memes because they have a really laid back

Culture. Fast-forward that went really well. Next thing you know, they asked for a technical assessment. I then filled out the technical assessment. I was called and told I got the position. I received a zip file of documents via DocuSign with my offer letter, employment contract and benefit summary it included everything from Gym membership reimbursement to Internet reimbursement and cell phone for being a remote employee. Not once was I asked for money. Eventually, as part of the new hire paperwork they asked for my direct deposit details again via Docusign… despite the fact I had even purchased a membership with beenverified and all kinds of due diligence in regards to searching online and LinkedIn nothing came up that showed this was not a legitimate offer, but my Spidey sense would not let it go. I decided to do one final check and it came up on the company’s LI that there were scams they had been made aware of and this was not a legit position. I reached out to them to let them know that I was one of the affected persons. Thankfully, I gave no personal information and they said in agreement they have never seen something as sophisticated as this approach. Be careful folks.

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute.
