Safeguarding job applicants from phishing scams is crucial to protect their personal information and security. Phishing scams involve fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information, often through fake emails, websites or communications.
As a LVHN applicant, here is how you can protect yourself from potential scams.
- Awareness: Phishing scams target job applicants by posting roles on sites that may look valid. However, they are not actual job postings. Common signs of phishing emails include poor grammar, generic greetings and suspicious email addresses. LVHN will never ask you to share your password, and all LVHN Jobs redirect to our website at LVHN.org/careers.
- LVHN’s verified senders:
- LVHN will always reach out to you using emails that end with either @lvhn.com, @lvh.com or @lvhn.org.
- While LVHN does post roles with outside sites such as Indeed and LinkedIn, all job postings redirect to our official website. You may find a complete job list on LVHN.org/careers.
- Once you’ve applied with LVHN, you will receive a confirmation email from our human resources team.
- Timeline and application status: You can review your application status at any time by logging into the “My Profile” section of your LVHN application. After you apply, our recruiters generally review your application within 1-2 business days. If you are selected for consideration, they will connect with you directly or share your application with our hiring leaders.
- Avoid sharing sensitive information: While personal information is collected during application and onboarding (once you’ve accepted an offer with LVHN), LVHN will never ask for sensitive data in an initial email.
- Contact LVHN directly: If you receive an email requesting sensitive information or one that seems suspicious, please contact LVHN directly using your HR partner’s official contact information to verify the request's legitimacy. You may also reach out to Careers@lvhn.org.
- Privacy policies: Familiarize yourself with LVHN’s privacy policy.
By taking these steps, you can stay vigilant and protect yourself from phishing scams during the application process.
