stolen or receiving scam job offers just as in salt injury.
Fortunately recruiting was one of the first businesses to move online,
and the industries experience means it's a pretty safe place to operate.

You should (be) always on guard against identity theft. You can protect
yourself by using a little common sense, and following these tips.
First, provide limited contact information. Consider using a professional alias like innovative network specialist, or just your first initial and last name. Until you’re certain that you’re communicating with a legitimate employer or /recruiter/, provide only your city and the state of your residence and a cell phone number.
Never include your social security number on your resume or the year you graduated from a college. You wanna make it as hard as possible for perpetuator to trace your identity.
Use a free e-mail account or a mail box dedicated exclusively to your job search. That way you can keep your search related emails separate from personal email, and then shut down the extra mail box once you’ve landed a position.
Provide additional information with caution. Yes, it’s possible that your ID can be stolen by your employer or /staffing agency/.
But,
landing a job requires trust, and legitimate employers and agencies take for cautions to make sure your data is secure. To be on the safe side, never give a prospective employer or recruiter your social security
number unless you know why they need it. If the recruiter needs it for background check, ask which screening company will be used and whom will have access to the report.
Research the senders of any e-mail to make sure they are legitimate recruiter before answering. Don’t response to any request for money or any advertisement offers to find you a job for fee. Remember if it
sounds too good to be true, it’s probably a scam.
