Staying safe while you apply
- Never pay to apply, interview or accept an offer — ROLIVA never asks you for payment to apply to a job.
- Apply only through the official “Apply on the employer’s site” button, on the employer’s own site, and check that a recruiter’s email uses that employer’s own domain rather than a free email address.
- Be cautious of an offer made with no real interview, or pressure to decide quickly or share financial details early.
