Beware of Fraudulent Recruiting Advertisements and Scams: Be aware when applying for a job, there are job offer scams perpetrated through the use of the Internet and social media platforms scamming people with fake job offers to gather personal and financial information. The scams prey upon those seeking employment and use false and fraudulent offers of employment with companies such as Optoma to steal from their victims. Optoma believes that one of the best ways to put a stop to these types of scams is to make you aware that they exist, provide tips on how to identify and avoid them, and make clear how we recruit for positions with Optoma so that you can more easily identify fraudulent recruiting advertisements.

• No applicant for employment with Optoma is ever required to pay any money as part of the job application or hiring process. 
• Optoma never interviews job applicants through chat rooms (such as Google Hangouts), or through instant messaging systems. If someone tells you that they want to interview you for a job through a chat room, via text or instant messaging, they do not work for or represent Optoma and are likely seeking to defraud you. 
• Optoma's job recruitment process involves in person and/or virtual through Microsoft Teams and occasionally via telephone. 
• Optoma's job recruiting staff sends email communications to job applicants from “@optoma.com” email accounts only. Any email that states to be from Optoma but does not have a "@optoma.com" address should be assumed to be fraudulent.
• Optoma recruiting staff will NEVER send interview questions ahead of time or make an offer of employment to the candidates without having them go through our different levels of interviews whether in-person or virtual.
