The healthcare industry is bursting with opportunity, but it’s also a magnet for scammers looking to exploit eager job seekers. These fraudsters use everything from fake certification fees to outright identity theft to trick you. At Express Healthcare Staffing, your safety and success are our top priorities. Here’s how to spot and dodge these dangerous schemes.
Express Healthcare is committed to making your job search secure. Follow these crucial steps to protect yourself:
- Verify the Employer: Always do your homework! Research any facility or organization thoroughly. Check official websites and, if a posting claims to be from us, contact your local Express Healthcare office directly to confirm it’s legitimate.
- Beware of Red Flags: Be highly suspicious of any offer demanding upfront payments for training or “background checks.” Also, be wary if they ask for personal or financial details too early in the process. Remember, Express Healthcare never charges job seekers a fee
- Communicate Directly: If you receive an offer or any communication, always reach out to your local Express Healthcare office directly using verified contact information from our official website. Don’t use contact details provided in a suspicious email or message.
- Protect Personal Information: Never share sensitive details like your Social Security number or bank information unless you’ve absolutely verified the offer’s legitimacy. When in doubt, contact your local Express Healthcare office.
- Report Suspicious Activity: If you suspect a scam, report it immediately to the proper authorities. Your action helps protect others.
