How to check if a recruiter is legit
Verify the recruiter on LinkedIn with a history at the stated company, match their email domain to the employer’s official site, and confirm the role appears on the company careers page. Legit recruiters do not ask for payment, bank details, or government IDs before a formal offer.
Search the exact job title plus company on the official careers site. If only third-party boards list it, ask for a video call with a hiring manager and a written job description on company letterhead.
JobiQueue trust scans flag risky apply domains and inconsistent posting metadata—useful when a recruiter reaches out over DM or WhatsApp.
