Protect Yourself Against Recruitment Scams
Unsure if a job offer from DNEG is legitimate? Use these tips to protect yourself against fraudulent recruitment schemes.
Unfortunately, the number of fake job offers and recruitment scams are on the rise. As we recruit for a large number of open positions across the globe for our slate of upcoming productions, scammers are trying to use this as an opportunity to fraudulently access your banking and personal information via fake job ads and recruitment offers. In order to help you recognise genuine opportunities with DNEG, here are some tips and advice to safeguard you and your online information!
SIGNS OF A SCAM AT A GLANCE:
Look out for these warning signs:
- An unofficial email address was used
- The role offered is not listed on our official DNEG website
- Contact was made through an unofficial platform
- Money was requested, or was offered upfront for ‘equipment purchases’
- Sensitive information was requested during the recruitment process

DNEG EMAIL ADDRESS
Communications will always be sent from DNEG official email addresses: EXAMPLE@dneg.com
Scammers are using close variations of our email address, such as @dnneg.com or @dengg.com. Please take care in checking that all communications are from an official dneg.com email address!
DNEG JOB PORTAL
All genuine open positions will be listed on the job portal on our website. If a role is not listed there, then it's not a real opportunity!
We do not use third-party job boards such as Indeed to list our open positions. Consider applying directly through our website for greater security.
OFFICIAL PLATFORMS WE USE
Our TA teams use the following platforms to communicate with applicants:
- Official DNEG email: EXAMPLE@dneg.com.
- Jobvite email addresses following application: notification@jobvite.com.
- LinkedIn: we suggest that you carefully verify the recruiter's LinkedIn profile and their connections to establish legitimacy.
- Zoom: you can hover over an individual’s Zoom contact profile to verify that their email address is an official dneg.com address.
PROCESS DETAILS
- DNEG will always conduct face-to-face interviews via Zoom before any offer of employment is made.
- DNEG will never provide you with an upfront cheque or payment to purchase your own equipment.
- DNEG does not request payments during the recruitment process.
- DNEG has a dedicated Talent Acquisition (TA) team. Initial contact with candidates will not be from a member of our “HR” team.
When in doubt, please reach out. Our TA team can confirm whether a role is legitimate or verify your application. It’s okay to double check!
