How to Verify a Recruiter in 30 Seconds

The difference between a real recruiter and a scammer is rarely subtle if you know where to look.

The 30-second checklist

1. Email domain matches the company website — not gmail, not a look-alike domain.
2. LinkedIn profile is older than 12 months and has mutual connections inside the company.
3. Recruiter answers a specific question about the role — scammers default to generic language.
4. Posting exists on the company careers site with the same title and requisition ID.

If any one of these fails, run the recruiter through Sentari Reputation.
