If a job offer seems too good to be true, it probably is. To stay out of trouble, rely on your critical thinking and look out for the following red flags:
Intellias never asks candidates for money at any stage of the recruitment process.
We never sign contracts via email – employment contracts are signed offline or via secure applications.
Intellias never uses any type of bank or other checks to cover candidates’ expenses.
Our emails always come from an address ending with intellias.com. We never use gmail.com, yahoo.com, or other email addresses during the recruitment process.
Our recruitment process consists of many stages: a tech interview, a chat with the manager, etc. We talk with our candidates offline or via video calls. If you only communicate via email, it might be a scam.
