Beware of Recruitment Fraud 

Recently, Gusto has become aware of scammers who are impersonating Gusto recruiters in order to exploit individuals seeking roles at our company. Here’s what you should know to help you avoid becoming the victim of fraud. 

What is Recruitment fraud?

Recruitment fraud is a scam involving the offer of fictitious job opportunities.

These fraudsters contact job seekers and may offer fake jobs to applicants and often ask for personal and financial information. 

Recruitment fraud is getting increasingly sophisticated and can be carried out through false advertisements on employment sites or by mimicking our careers site and company email addresses. The fraudsters often request payment as part of their fake recruiting process. 

While we are continually monitoring situations like these, please be careful about providing personal information and never provide financial compensation of any kind to a recruiter.

How to identify a recruitment fraud? 

  • Gusto will never initially contact you via text messages or WhatsApp 
  • We send emails only from addresses ending in @gusto.com 
  • No one from the company will ever ask applicants for financial compensation of any kind 
  • Our recruiters will never ask for sensitive personal information like bank account numbers, social security numbers, and passport numbers 
  • Gusto only uses Zoom for interviewing after initial phone screening
  •  We do not offer any roles without a formal interview process 
  • The best way to apply for roles at Gusto is through the company website’s careers page

If you suspect that you’ve been contacted by someone impersonating a Gusto employee or have come across a fraudulent job posting, please do not respond to them and instead contact Gusto at [email protected]

Report fraudulent text messages by forwarding a copy of the text message to 7726 (SPAM). This will help phone carriers identify and block similar messages in the future.
