Trust & safety
Most job scams in India follow the same pattern: a fake company, a payment or a password request, and a candidate who loses money. This page explains how we stop companies getting on the site, and what you should refuse.
Check
How we check an employer
A company cannot post a single job until all four of these are done.
- 1
GST registration check
The company gives us its GST number. We look it up in the public GST record and check that the name and address on the record match the company on the listing.
- 2
Working phone number
We call the number the company gave us. Somebody has to answer and confirm that they are hiring for that company. A number that does not belong to the company fails here.
- 3
Matching address
The address the company gives must match the address on its GST record. We do not accept a listing for a company that cannot be found at the place it claims.
- 4
Manual review
A person reads the result of all three checks before the company can post its first job. If something does not add up, we ask the company more questions or we refuse the listing.
When a company has passed, its listings show a checked badge with the date the check was done. If a badge is missing, treat the listing as unchecked and report it.
Warning
Signs of a job scam
If you see any of these, the job is not real — whatever the website it came from looks like.
- Asking for a fee, deposit or “training charge”
- No real employer asks you to pay to apply, to attend an interview, or to join. A “refundable” security deposit is still a payment.
- Recruiting only over personal WhatsApp
- A real company talks to you from its company phone or email. A recruiter who insists on a personal WhatsApp number and will not give a company name is not the company.
- Salary far above the market
- A very high salary for very little work, or no work at all, is how fake listings pull people in.
- Asking for an OTP, PIN or bank details
- Nobody who is hiring needs a one-time password from your phone, your UPI PIN, your CVV, or your account number and password. Nobody.
- Told not to speak to the company
- If you are told to keep it secret, or that you must pay before you can “meet the employer”, stop. That is not a hiring process.
One rule covers all of them: a job seeker never has to send money or a password to get a job. If somebody asks, it is a scam.
Report
What we do when you report
From report to removal
- You report the job or the company on Report a job. No account needed.
- A person on our side reads the report and checks the listing against the company record.
- If the report is confirmed, we remove the listing the same day, and we stop the company from posting while we look into it.
- If the report is wrong, we tell you so and leave the listing alone.
You can report anonymously. We will not share your name with the company you reported.
