Before you begin
Candidates may feel pressure to respond fast, but basic verification is important when a vacancy comes from a group or a message.
Use Workers Network’s routes to find relevant communities, then evaluate each contact as you would anywhere else.
Limit public details
Share role interests, region and general background before releasing private records.
Verify the contact
Check whether the employer can describe the position, organization and working arrangements coherently.
Treat payment requests as a warning
Be cautious if a stranger demands a fee, credential or unrelated payment before discussing an interview.
Keep a record
Save the job description and written terms you are discussing so expectations are clear.
A practical example
A recruiter sends a generic message asking for a copy of your identity card before naming the employer. A reasonable response is to ask for the role, organization and reason the document is required. Sharing only relevant information at each stage helps you evaluate the opportunity without exposing private records prematurely.
What to check before you finish
- Never post government identification in open employment threads.
- A messaging-group admin is not responsible for verifying every employer claim.
- Use official company contact routes when uncertain.
