Randstad Text Scam - How to Protect Yourself

Protection Tips

• No Unsolicited Texts: Randstad recruiters will not contact you directly via WhatsApp, Telegram, or text to offer a job without prior application.
• NEVER Pay Fees: Legitimate recruiters will never ask for money for training, equipment, or application fees.
• Verify Official Email: Only trust emails from official domains like @randstad.ca, @randstadusa.com, or @randstaddigital.com.
• Protect Data: Do not share your Social Security Number, banking information, or photos of ID via text or messaging apps.
• Action: If you receive a suspicious text, do not reply, block the number, and report it to your local authorities.
• Do Not Engage: Stop responding and do not click any links or download attachments.
• Verify Directly: If you're unsure, contact your local Randstad branch directly or use their official contact number (e.g., 877-601-7453 in the USA) to verify the recruiter's name.
• Secure Your Info: Never share your bank details, Social Security/Social Insurance number, or copies of ID via text or email.
• Report the Message:
  • Forward spam texts to 7726 (SPAM) to alert your wireless provider.
