1. Our promise

In short

You never pay EasyHire, and a real employer never asks you to pay them.

EasyHire is free for job seekers — always. No employer on EasyHire is allowed to charge you to apply, train, or be hired. Anyone who asks for money is breaking our posting rules, and you should report them.

2. Red flags

In short

If you see one of these, stop and report it.
  • Asks you to pay — for training, a starter kit, equipment, software, a “processing fee”, or a deposit.
  • Sends you a cheque or transfer and asks you to send part of it back or buy gift cards.
  • Asks for your bank or e-wallet login, card PIN, or a one-time password (OTP). No real employer ever needs these.
  • Wants your government ID numbers or bank details before any offer is made.
  • Pushes you off EasyHire to Telegram, WhatsApp, or Viber within the first message, especially with an unnamed company.
  • Pay that is far above the norm for very little work, or vague duties with urgent pressure to start today.
  • Interviews only by chat, or an interviewer who won't show their face or name the company.
  • A company with no website, no verifiable presence, or an email from a free provider claiming to be a big brand.

3. Before you accept an offer

In short

Know who you're working for, and get the terms in writing.
  • Look for the Verifiedbadge on the company profile. It means we reviewed the company's business documents. It reduces risk, but it is not a guarantee — still use your judgement.
  • Search the company and the person hiring you. Check that their website and email match.
  • Get the offer in writing: rate, currency, hours, time zone, payment method, and pay schedule.
  • Keep your conversations on EasyHire until you've agreed terms, so there's a record.
  • Test tasks should be short. Long unpaid "samples" are a warning sign.

4. Protect your data

In short

Share only what's needed, when it's needed.
  • Leave government ID numbers, your full home address, and bank details off your resume. Share them only after you've accepted a genuine offer and only if needed for payment or contracts.
  • Choose your profile visibility in your profile settings — Hidden, Standard, or Public. See our Privacy Policy for what each means.
  • Never share passwords or OTPs with anyone, including people claiming to be from EasyHire.
  • Turn on two-factor authentication in your account settings.

5. Tips for employers

  • Do a live video call before hiring, and check the candidate matches their profile.
  • Pay through traceable methods and keep a written agreement.
  • Give new hires the least access they need. Use shared password managers rather than sending passwords in chat.
  • Report candidates who impersonate others or ask you to pay them through unusual channels.

6. If something goes wrong

In short

Report it on EasyHire first. If you lost money, contact your bank and the authorities too.
  1. Stop— don't send money, codes, or documents.
  2. Report it on EasyHire using the report button on the job, company page, profile, or message thread, or email hello@easyhire.com with screenshots.
  3. If you sent money or shared account details, contact your bank or e-wallet provider immediately to try to stop the transfer and secure your account.
  4. Report the scam to the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) hotline 1326, or to the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group or NBI Cybercrime Division.
