Beware of Employment Agency Scammers

March 4th at 12pm

Who Should Attend

Employment Agency, Staffing, recruiting, and workforce solutions industry executives and employees

Highlights

Remember that most recent potential customer phone call, email, or website response requesting temporary staffing help.  Did it sound too good to be true?  Maybe it was too good to be true.  Scammers are continuing to target the staffing industry in all shapes and forms.  They can disguise themselves as a real person at a real company.  Their website, phone numbers and emails may seem legitimate, but all those communications route to a scammer/imposter.  Their common goal is to steal payroll funds and unemployment claim benefits.  The result can be very costly and traumatic to the staffing firm.  There are ways to defend your organization.

During this session, attendees will learn:

1. How scammers communicate their bogus staffing and/or payroll need with staffing firms/employment agencies

1. Ways to pre-screen/vet scammers
2. Real case studies from staffing firm owners
3. Scam tactics regarding payroll and unemployment claims fraud
4. Lessons from legal professionals on preventing fraud
5. Financial and Credit Due diligence best practices from Banks and Lenders
