Try to keep your profile up to date. If there are changes to your career, interests, education, or other details in your profile, remember to update your information to keep the personalized services coming.

The following sections are included on your Recruit Bright profile and can be updated at anytime:

Using search on home page

Keywords are words, phrases, and terms that you can enter to describe educational and professional experiences, skills, and company names. They are used to search for Jobs containing those words in their Descriptions. By typing in various keywords, you will maximize your chances of retrieving Jobs that most accurately match your search.

Start your job search with the keywords that relate to the type of job you are looking for. They could be the skills that you have, designations of the jobs that you want, or the qualifications that you hold. In addition you could be giving the city name, company that you want to work for etc.

Example
  • If you are a graduate, with some experience in a call center looking for a job in Bangalore – you should give “BPO Team Leader Bangalore” in the keyword box.
  • If you are a qualified network administrator, with the required technical qualifications – you should give – “Network administrator” in the keyword box.
Tips

 

  • Multiple search words will give you more results.
  • If you are searching for phrases, then use ” ” around the phrase.
    Example: “Sales Manager” “Art Director” etc.
  • If you wish to avoid some words in the job description, then write those words with a minus in front of the job.
    For example:: Sales -FMCG will give you jobs with the word sales in them, but only those without FMCG

The keywords that you give are searched for in the Title of the job, Key Skills asked for in the job and the entire text of the job description in that order.

The jobs are sorted on relevance by default. The most relevant ones appear at the top.

The following guidelines are designed to help job seekers recognize and avoid fraudulent tactics.

Job Search Dos

Look for verifiable company email addresses. Larger, more established companies usually have email addresses with top-level domains that match their websites. Generally, communications from such large established companies do not come from publicly available addresses like yahoo or gmail. If you are contacted by someone with a generic address, ask if they are able to conduct communications via a company domain email address. If they can’t or won’t, proceed with caution.

Watch closely for email addresses with misspelled or “spoofed” company names. These are often similar to, but don’t exactly match, the actual company name. Examples of suspicious addresses include “Info@company.net” instead of “[email protected]” and misspelled company names like “Info@companie.com” or “Info@compaany.com.”

Match the job offer to your application. Avoid bait-and-switch scams by confirming that employers who respond to your applications are offering the job for which you applied.

Be cautious when pursuing positions with salaries, perks, and flexibility that seem too good to be true. Ask questions to confirm that the position is salaried (not commission-only) and that there is a physical base of operations when a “work-from-home” opportunity is advertised.

Insist on an in-person or video interview. Be wary of job offers that come with little or no interview process. Scammers often avoid face-to-face interviews by relying on chat services, such as Google Hangouts, while offering “work-from-home” positions.

Always report suspicious communications to Indeed. If you are contacted by someone you suspect of fraudulent intentions or suspicious business practices, please contact Recruit Bright immediately.

Job Search Don’ts

Never send any form of payment to a potential employer you apply to on Recruit Bright. Not only is charging fees a violation of Indeed’s rules for companies, this are often a type of scam (see “Types of scams.”).

Never agree to perform any financial transaction on behalf of a potential employer. This includes, but is not limited to, accepting or making wire transfers or cashing cheques sent to you in order to make purchases on someone’s behalf.

Never agree to a job that involves opening multiple accounts and/or posting ads on Recruit Bright or on other sites.  While there are certain roles where this activity may be accepted, such as recruiting or staffing services, exercise caution if asked upfront to open accounts for an employer you have not met. These are likely scammers and you could become involved in activities that may put you in financial and legal jeopardy.

Never accept money upfront for work you have not performed. This is a tactic commonly used in financial scams and can put you at considerable legal risk.

Types of scams to avoid

Cheque scams

Cheque scams aim to get people to unwittingly take on the risk of passing a bad cheque. Look out for scammers that offer elaborate stories about needing a personal assistant, caregiver or someone to cash a cheque to make large purchases or transfer money for them while they are out of town. These often include stories where:

  • You are required to purchase expensive medical equipment for a family member for them.
  • They are going to open up a new office “in your area” and you are required to purchase office supplies, equipment, or software using the cheque.
  • They offer to pay you upfront for work you haven’t performed yet and ask that you transfer the remainder of the cheque to another account for them.

 

Money laundering scams

Reputable, legitimate companies should never ask you to perform financial transactions or money transfers for them, especially via Western Union, MoneyGram, or BitCoin. Even if you are not asked to transfer any of your own money, scammers are often looking for other people to perform scam-related financial transactions so they don’t have to.

 

Reshipping scams

There is virtually no legitimate scenario where an employer should require you to re-ship packages from your home. These are known as reshipping scams and offer work-at-home positions, sometimes advertised as “merchandising manager” or “package processing assistant.” Duties may include receiving packages and mailing them to foreign addresses on behalf of a client using postage-paid mailing labels provided via email. Unbeknownst to the new “employee,” these packages may contain, for example:

  • Merchandise bought with stolen credit cards, which are smuggled out of the country by the reshipping scam.
  • Counterfeit postal money orders, which are distributed to other scammers.

After reshipping these packages, the “employee” is often paid with counterfeit cheques or postal money orders. More information on reshipping scams is available from the Canada Post website.

 

Fee scams

It shouldn’t cost you money to apply for a job on Recruit Bright. Not only do fee scams fleece job seekers, they are also signs that a company may be involved in other shady activities. Certain legitimate expenditures like uniforms and job tools may be required after you accept a position but are generally deducted from your salary after you begin working. Likewise, background checks are most often paid for by the employer or offered directly to you by a local government agency and should not be paid by you in the form of a fee to the employer. Types of fees often levied unscrupulously include:

  • application fees
  • recruiter placement fees
  • interview reservations
  • training fees
  • resume formatting/re-writing fees
  • background check fees
