Notice: Recruitment Fraud and Job Scam Alert

Protect yourself from common recruitment scams
At Meta, your safety and trust are our top priorities. We are aware that scammers may impersonate recruiters from Meta or create fake job opportunities to deceive job seekers. Please read this important information to help you recognize and avoid recruitment fraud.
What is recruitment fraud?
Recruitment fraud happens when individuals or organizations falsely claim to represent Meta, often through fake job postings, emails, or messages. Their goal is to obtain your personal information, money, or login credentials.
1. Fake job invitations
You may receive emails or messages claiming to be recruiting from Meta, inviting you to apply for a job. These often request personal information, payment, or login credentials.
2. Imposter email domains
Scammers use email addresses that look similar to official domains from Meta but are misspelled or slightly altered (e.g., @metaa.com instead of @meta.com).
Verify official email domains from Meta here.
3. Suspicious links or attachments
Be wary of communications urging you to click on links or download files to “complete an application” or “verify your account.” These may be attempts to steal your information or infect your device.
4. Imposter recruiting sites
Scammers may create fake websites that mimic a Meta Careers page, prompting you to log in with your Facebook credentials or provide sensitive information.
Always apply for jobs through the official Meta Careers site.
5. Requests for payment
Meta will never ask you to pay any fees at any stage of the recruitment process. If you are asked for payment, it is a scam. Meta does not charge any fee for employment or for any step of the recruitment process.
