Fate Therapeutics and its employees are not involved in these scams.
 
Here are a few things to be aware of to help identify recruitment fraud:
- Our Talent Acquisition team only corresponds from our @fatetherapeutics.com domain.
- At no stage in our hiring process will we require payment or ask you to make deposits in your bank account.
- We will only ask for personal information when applying for a position via our Careers page or thereafter.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information.
