What happens if a junk job sneaks in, which I imagine is bound to happen some times?
We screen jobs for legitimacy to the best of our ability, but we too can be fooled. At times, a job that is not legitimate may sneak into our database without our detecting it, when unsavory employers use various ploys and technologies to circumvent our pre-screening process (e.g., website redirects). When they are discovered, they are immediately eliminated from the database. If you encounter any job in our database that asks for an up-front or start-up fee or for sensitive information, or that seems too good to be true, or if you are suspicious for any reason, please contact us immediately. We do our best, but you still need to do your “due diligence” – research any opportunities that interest you and then use your best judgment. We encourage you to check out companies independently to your own satisfaction before dealing with them. (A good place to check is www.welcome.bbb.org.
