Important information for candidates

Recruitment scams have become increasingly common. When applying:

• Verify the recruiter’s identity. All recruiters have verified LinkedIn profiles.
• Be cautious of unusual communication methods. Interviews are not conducted over WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS.
• Double-check email addresses. Communication from the employer comes from emails ending in @tether.to or @tether.io.
• The employer will never request payment or financial details. If someone asks for personal financial information or payment at any point during the hiring process, it is a scam.
