Fraudulent Job Postings
Beware of Hiring Scams:
Hiring scams are a common tactic used by scammers to target individuals by impersonating someone who works at Target or posing as a recruitment agency. These fraudulent messages may be delivered through email, text message or social media platforms such as LinkedIn, Indeed, Facebook or other networking sites. In some cases, individuals create fake social media profiles pretending to be Target recruiters.
These messages often promote outdated or false job postings and may direct you to apply outside of our official careers site. The goal of these scams is typically to request “recruitment fees,” solicit payment or collect sensitive personal information.
While Target recruiters may reach out through platforms like LinkedIn or job boards such as Indeed, here’s how you can verify you’re working with an official Target representative:
Recruiter email communication will come from a @target.com email address.
All open roles are posted on corporate.target.com/careers.
Applications are submitted only through Workday, our official applicant tracking system.
Target will never ask for payment, gift cards or banking information during the recruiting process.
If you’re ever unsure, search the role directly on our careers site to confirm it’s legitimate.
If you receive a suspicious recruiting message, report it on the platform where you received it — such as LinkedIn, iMessage, Indeed or Facebook.
