About CareerSteer
CareerSteer is an independent scam-verification service for people looking for work. Employment fraud is now one of the fastest-growing consumer crimes: fake recruiters copy real company names, promise high pay for simple remote tasks, and then ask for bank details, a deposited check, or an up-front payment for equipment.
Our mission
To give every job seeker a calm, plain-language second opinion before they reply to an offer — no jargon, no judgment, and no need to understand how scams work technically.
How we analyze an offer
- Sender and domain checks. Free mailboxes, lookalike hiring domains and mismatched reply addresses.
- Website and link checks. Throwaway extensions, shortened links and newly created sites.
- Money red flags. Check deposits, wire-backs, crypto, gift cards and up-front fees.
- Pressure and manipulation. Urgency, secrecy, chat-app-only interviews and instant hiring.
An AI second opinion then explains, in everyday words, exactly which phrases worry us and what to do next. Ratings are guidance, not a legal verdict — we always show you how to verify the employer yourself.
For employers and organizations
Criminals impersonate legitimate brands to reach candidates. Corporate and Enterprise plans give career centers, staffing firms and corporate talent teams a shared record of impersonation attempts so they can warn candidates early and protect their hiring reputation.
