OnlineJobs works actively to maintain a safe and trustworthy hiring environment for employers and candidates.
Our moderation systems and support team help detect suspicious activity, reduce spam, and protect users from scams and fraudulent behavior.
Employers also play an important role in keeping the platform safe.
How OnlineJobs Helps Prevent Fraud
OnlineJobs uses both:
Automated moderation systems
Manual review processes
to help identify:
Fake job listings
Scam activity
Spam accounts
Suspicious employer behavior
Misleading hiring practices
Both employers and candidates may also be reviewed by moderation systems when necessary.
Never Request Payments From Candidates
Employers must never request payments from candidates.
This includes:
Application fees
Interview fees
Training fees
Equipment deposits
“Guaranteed job” payments
Legitimate hiring opportunities should never require candidates to pay money in order to apply or get hired.
Keep Hiring Communication Professional
To improve safety and trust:
Keep communication professional
Avoid suspicious requests
Use the platform responsibly
Follow employer account guidelines
We also recommend keeping communication on-platform whenever possible during the hiring process.
Be Careful With External Communication
Direct contact details should not be included in public job descriptions.
Once you decide to move forward with a candidate during hiring or onboarding, you may share additional contact information privately.
Report Suspicious Activity Immediately
If you notice suspicious behavior, scam attempts, or fraudulent activity:
Stop communication immediately if necessary.
Collect relevant details or screenshots if available.
Contact OnlineJobs support through Intercom live chat.
Examples of suspicious behavior may include:
Fake identities
Misleading offers
Spam applications
Requests involving payments
Abusive or deceptive communication
Reporting suspicious activity helps protect the entire platform community.
Important Safety Reminders
Please remember:
OnlineJobs does not guarantee employment outcomes
Employers should always perform their own hiring evaluation process
Candidates should never be asked to send payments to employers
Suspicious behavior should always be reported promptly
Moderation and Enforcement
Accounts or listings involved in fraud, scams, or deceptive activity may face:
Job removal
Account restrictions
Suspension
Permanent account closure
These actions help maintain a safer hiring environment for everyone using OnlineJobs.
Troubleshooting
I received suspicious communication from a candidate
Stop communication if needed and contact support through Intercom live chat for assistance.
How do I report suspicious activity?
You can contact support directly through the live support chat available inside your employer dashboard.
Why was a job or account removed?
Listings or accounts may be restricted if moderation systems detect activity that violates platform safety policies or Terms of Service.
Pro Tip
Employers who maintain transparent job listings, professional communication, and clear hiring processes are more likely to build candidate trust and receive higher-quality applications on OnlineJobs.
