Recruitment Fraud: How to Verify Inmar Opportunities
Recruitment fraud occurs when scammers impersonate employers, recruiters, or hiring managers to offer fake job opportunities. These scams may appear as emails, text messages, social media outreach, fraudulent websites, or fake recruiter profiles on legitimate platforms such as LinkedIn. Their goal is often to collect personal information, financial information, or money under false pretenses.
Inmar is aware of attempts by individuals and groups to misuse our name and brand in recruitment scams. We take this issue seriously and are committed to helping candidates recognize, avoid, and report fraudulent activity.
Quick Verification Checklist
Before engaging with someone claiming to represent Inmar, verify the following:
- ✓ The position is posted on Inmar's official Careers site.
- ✓ Applications are submitted through Inmar's Workday-powered recruiting platform.
- ✓ Recruitment emails come from official email addresses, such as:
- firstname.lastname@inmar.com
- inmar@myworkday.com
- ✓ Interviews are conducted by phone or video using official company channels.
- ✓ You are not being asked to pay fees, purchase equipment, send gift cards, transfer money, or provide sensitive financial information.
These steps help you quickly confirm whether a communication is legitimate. If any of these details seem unusual or inconsistent, proceed with caution and verify the opportunity before responding.
Common Recruitment Scam Red Flags
Be cautious if you encounter any of the following:
- Unsolicited job offers for positions you did not apply for.
- Offers that promise unusually high pay for little experience or effort.
- Requests to communicate exclusively through text messages, messaging apps, or online chat.
- Interviews conducted solely through text, direct messages, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, or similar platforms.
- Pressure to act immediately or keep the opportunity confidential.
- Requests for payment, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or other forms of money.
- Requests to purchase equipment or software from a specific vendor.
- Checks sent with instructions to deposit funds and purchase equipment.
- Requests for banking information, Social Security numbers, or other sensitive personal information early in the recruiting process.
- Email addresses, websites, or social media profiles that closely resemble—but do not exactly match—official Inmar branding.
- Fake Workday login pages — a common scam tactic.

What Inmar Is Doing
We value the trust of every candidate exploring opportunities with us and take recruitment fraud seriously.
To help protect candidates and the integrity of our hiring process, Inmar uses Workday's built-in security, fraud prevention, and signal-data capabilities to help identify automated or suspicious activity and safeguard candidate information. These signal-data tools collect technical metadata, such as network and session indicators - not application content, and they do not affect legitimate candidates or the evaluation of their qualifications. We continuously monitor our recruiting channels and investigate reports of potential fraud.
We also work with online platforms and service providers to identify and remove fraudulent accounts, websites, and job postings that misuse the Inmar name or brand whenever possible.
While no organization can completely eliminate recruitment scams, we are committed to maintaining secure recruiting practices and helping candidates recognize and avoid fraudulent activity.
Thank you for helping us protect the integrity of the hiring process.
