Beware of Fradudulent Job Postings

We strive to keep fraudulent job postings off Handshake. Tri-C exercises due diligence to root out false advertisements and scams, but students must also use their best judgment. Students should never pay any money or fees to apply for or obtain a job.

If you have encountered a fraudulent posting on Handshake, please contact us as soon as possible at CareerServices@tri-c.edu so we can research the group and remove the employer from the system.

Avoiding a Job Posting Scam

  • Do not give your personal bank account, PayPal account or credit card information to a new employer.
  • Do not agree to have funds or paychecks directly deposited by a new employer into any of your accounts.
  • Do not forward, wire, transfer or send by courier (i.e. FedEx, UPS) any money to any employer, for any reason, using your personal account(s).
  • In general, applicants do not pay a fee to obtain a job (when in doubt, consult with our office first).

Disclaimer Regarding Job Postings in Handshake

Tri-C’s Career Marketplace lists opportunities which it feels will be of interest to students and alumni. We cannot guarantee the reliability or character of the listing from an employer. We cannot be responsible for potential disputes or contractual difficulties with contacts listed by the office. We strongly advise applicants to research and screen potential employers carefully.

Q: What is a staffing agency?
A: A staffing agency — also known as a search, recruiting or staffing firm or service — is an organization that matches companies and job candidates. By registering with a staffing agency, you have the potential to make connections with multiple hiring managers looking to find the right people for their job openings.

Q: How do you choose the right agency?
A: It’s important to take time to learn about and research the staffing agency you’re interested in. Find out if it is a general staffing firm or a specialized staffing firm (one that targets specific industries). Be sure to clarify whether you want short-term, long-term, or temporary-to-permanent employment.

Look to see if the agency is part of the American Staffing Association. If they are, then they adhere practices that the American Staffing Association consider legal, ethical and professional.

Q: What are red flags that I should be on the lookout for?
A: Never work with a staffing agency that doesn’t have clear guidelines, or is vague, about their placement processes, time sheet or pay roll. Do not pay anyone for a job!
