The fraudsters often request recipients to provide sensitive personal information, financial information, and/or to make payments as part of their fake recruiting process.

Please note that our application process is as follows:

  • Graycor applicants are required to apply for jobs through our Careers page
  • Fraudulent job offers often ask for financial or personal information early in the process. Graycor does not ask for any financial commitment or contribution from a candidate at any stage of the recruitment process.
  • A fraudulent offer may ask you to book travel through a certain travel agency with the promise to reimburse travel costs. During our interview process, a Graycor representative will book travel for you.
  • All job offers are delivered by an internal Graycor representative.

Graycor has no responsibility for fraudulent offers and advises candidates to follow the guidance provided above. If you have any questions about the authenticity of our recruitment process or an offer that you have received, please contact us by email at hr@graycor.com.
