Security and Safety

How we protect the website

We use a secure (HTTPS) connection, keep administrator passwords stored in a one-way encrypted form, limit repeated login attempts, and restrict who can add, edit or remove jobs. Job descriptions are cleaned so that harmful code cannot be added to a page.

How to spot a job scam

• You are asked to pay a fee, deposit, training or equipment cost.
• The employer wants your bank details, ID number or password before a written offer.
• The offer sounds too good to be true, or promises easy money for little work.
• Messages come from a free email address while claiming to be a large company.
• You are pushed to decide quickly or to move the chat to a private messaging app.
• The job advert has many spelling mistakes or no real company details.

Staying safe when you apply

• Research the company: find its official website and compare the contact details.
• Share only what is needed to apply. Keep ID and bank details until you have a written offer.
• Never send money to receive money, and never cash cheques for an employer.
• Use a strong, unique password for any account you create.
