How It Works

JobChecked™ protects job seekers at the point of engagement.

JobChecked™ helps job seekers review job postings, recruiter outreach, and employment offers before they invest time, share personal information, or send money. Every submission is assessed through our proprietary 60-Point Verification System, built on human-led research, real-world case analysis, and repeatable patterns identified across known and emerging recruitment and data-harvesting scams.

JobChecked is now free to job seekers. JobChecked Enhanced is available for those who want deeper comparison against documented scam workflows, behavioural patterns, and known recruitment scam methodologies.
