Tips to Avoid Recruitment Fraud

ProPharma will never ask you for any bank account information, financial information, or another form of payment to be considered for a role. Additionally, the ProPharma talent acquisition team will only use their work email addresses (domain@propharmagroup.com). If you receive recruiting communications from anyone with a yahoo.com, gmail.com, live.com, propharmagroupjobs.com, or any other email account, it’s likely a fraud.
