Fraud policy
This document is waiting for review by counsel. It describes how we work today; the reviewed version will be published here with a new date.
Careers pages we host
Employers and agencies publish their jobs on careers pages hosted by TalentInitiator. Each careers page shows the fraud policy below, and every job on it has a “Report this posting” link.
How to report a posting
- Use “Report this posting” on the job itself. You can report without leaving your name, or leave a way to reach you.
- You can also write to us through our contact page. Include the link to the posting and what made you suspicious.
What happens next
- A person on the employer’s team reviews every report in the product’s compliance centre.
- We review the reports sent to us directly and contact the employer.
- Postings confirmed as fraudulent are removed. Each report, its outcome and every version of this policy are kept for at least 3 years.
Protect yourself
Real employers on TalentInitiator never ask applicants to pay for anything, and never ask for banking details or a social insurance number before a written job offer.
The policy each careers page shows
Every careers page we host publishes this policy in English and French, with the name of the employer or agency in place of “the employer” and its own contact address.
Fraudulent job postings
The employer posts real jobs on this careers page. This policy explains how to recognize a fraudulent posting and how to report one.
Warning signs
- You are asked to pay for training, equipment, a background check or anything else before you are hired.
- You are asked for your banking details or your social insurance number before you receive a written job offer.
- A message about this job comes from an address that does not belong to the employer.
- You are offered the job without an interview, or pressed to accept right away.
We never ask applicants for money.
Report a posting
Every posting on this page has a "Report this posting" link. You can also write to the address shown on the careers page. Tell us which posting it is and what made you suspicious.
A person reviews every report. Postings confirmed as fraudulent are removed, and we keep a record of each report and of each version of this policy for at least three years.
