Fake Job Offers and Recruiting Scams
Husch Blackwell is aware of recruiting scams in which fraudsters impersonate firm employees, purport to offer employment opportunities, and then request sensitive personal information or upfront payments.
Husch Blackwell’s recruiting team will only send emails from addresses ending in @huschblackwell.com. Scammers may use email domains that closely resemble @huschblackwell.com but contain subtle differences, such as words before or after the firm name or a missing or added letter.
If you receive a recruiting communication from any other domain—including free email services such as Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail, or addresses that appear similar to but are not exactly @huschblackwell.com—it is not from us.
