Protect Yourself from Job Scams

Here is how to protect yourself from job scams, which can appear like legitimate work opportunities, where the scammer pretends to work at Automattic:

Automattic will never ask for money or fees at any point during the interview process; if you are being asked to send money as part of your interaction, do not send money. Please report the situation here.
Automattic never asks applicants to communicate through Telegram or Skype. If you are being asked to download Telegram or Skype for a job interview, do not download. Report the situation here.
Genuine Automattic email comes only from @automattic.com or @a8c.com email addresses.
Automattic posts all legitimate job openings on our careers website. You may come across job postings on various job boards. For your safety, please verify a role exists and apply directly on our website at https://automattic.com/work-with-us/.
