Protecting Yourself Against Recruiting Scams

Please be aware that there are people impersonating GoGlobal employees and creating fake job listings to steal personal information and/or money from candidates. We want to make sure that all interested applicants stay safe when applying for jobs at GoGlobal.

Follow these tips to safeguard your personal information:

Verify Job Listings:

• All legitimate GoGlobal job openings on external platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, Indeed) are also listed on our official website: GoGlobal Careers. If you spot a GoGlobal position solely on a job board, without a corresponding listing on our site, it's likely a scam.

Check Email Domains:

• GoGlobal employees only use email addresses ending with "@goglobal.com". If you receive communication from someone claiming to be from GoGlobal, ensure their email domain matches our standard.

Validate Job Offers:

• Legitimate job offers at GoGlobal entail a rigorous interview process involving multiple rounds. Be wary of any offer received without undergoing this standard procedure.

Protect Personal Information:

• GoGlobal never solicits passport details, financial information (such as credit cards or bank accounts), or money from job candidates. If asked for such information prior to a thorough interview process, it's likely a scam.

Verification Assistance:

• If you've received a job offer from GoGlobal but are unsure of its legitimacy, contact us at [email protected] before divulging any personal information for onboarding purposes. We're here to assist you in verifying the authenticity of the offer.

Stay vigilant and prioritize your security throughout the job application process. If you encounter any suspicious activity, don't hesitate to reach out to us for clarification. Your safety is paramount to us at GoGlobal.
