Applicant safety
Stay safe during your job search
Learn how to recognise suspicious messages, protect your information and confirm that a contact is genuine.
Jobs Kerala communicates through your dashboard and official office contacts. Always verify unexpected messages with our team.
Warning signs of recruitment fraud
- Anyone asking you to act urgently to “confirm” an interview or job offer.
- Requests for OTPs, passwords, banking credentials or identity documents over chat.
- Offer letters sent from free email addresses or messaging apps only.
- Pressure to decide within minutes, or to share OTPs, bank details or Aadhaar copies.
- Promises of a guaranteed job, an overseas visa, or a "sure" government posting.
- Job offers for roles you never applied for, with unusually high salary claims.
How we actually contact you
- Through your dashboard on this portal, and by phone or email from our office numbers.
- Interview details always appear in your candidate dashboard for you to confirm.
- We never ask for OTPs, passwords, bank credentials or card details.
If you suspect fraud
- Stop all further communication with the sender.
- Save screenshots, phone numbers and any documents received.
- Report it to us on our contact page so we can warn other candidates.
- Report cybercrime to the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (cybercrime.gov.in) or call the national helpline 1930. You may also file a complaint at your local police station.
Protecting your data
Share documents only through your dashboard. Never send Aadhaar, PAN or bank details to a "recruiter" over WhatsApp. If an employer contacts you directly claiming to be from our panel, confirm with our office first.
