Someone from the hiring team reached out to me via text message and started an interview process with me for an Administration Assistant position and we chatted on Microsoft Teams, after about an hour and a half of q&a I was "hired. I want to make sure that this is a legitimate system and job offer that is through FM Global. I have never done an interview over chat before so I want to ensure the process is typical.

I have never heard of an interview process via chat, but that does not mean it doesn’t exist. Could you potentially reach out to this individual via email to confirm, and have you received any sort of formal documentation of your offer? I wouldn’t recommend relying on anything until you have signed an official offer letter and confirming the validity!

did you apply to the job and then the hiring person texted you to get interviews schedule? or did they reach out to you first? usually interviews are confirmed via email for a paper trail. i would be careful of out of the blue text messages about job opportunities because they can be scams. unless you actually know the recruiter is a legitamate person at [X] company.

I would say err on the side of caution. It is HIGHLY unusual. Did you apply to the job on the company site? Were you contacted from a valid email? Check the company website, most of them have ways to reach them aboit recruitment scams, reach out to them for a confirmation

I had an experience with a brief phone interview with the Talent Acquisition person over that job. She then decided I was worthy of an interview with the hiring manager. We only did a Teams video meeting and she hired me to work for a major hospital. I had applied for the position.

Did you go through with the offer or did it end up being a scam?

It's not affecting my overall saving % (was 46%) but wondering if I should try to even it out a bit more?
