Looking for a new career opportunity is exciting, and we want to make sure your experience with Agoda is positive from the very start.
We pride ourselves on treating candidates with respect. Unfortunately, you might already know that online job scams are common these days, with bad actors sometimes falsely impersonating company names or real employees in an attempt to collect personal information or money. We want to make sure that doesn’t happen to you.
Here is a quick, friendly guide on how we hire to help you recognize legitimate Agoda recruitment communications, so you always know you’re talking to the real us.
What to expect from Agoda’s recruitment process
If you’re applying for a role at Agoda or have been contacted by our recruitment team, here are a few things you can expect:
- Official job listings: All Agoda job openings are posted on www.careersatagoda.com, and other official recruitment channels such as Agoda’s LinkedIn page.
- Official Agoda email domains: Agoda recruiters contacting you via email will have their email address ending @agoda.com (or @agoda.global via GoodTime for scheduling purposes).
- No surprises: We’ll map out your interview steps so you always know what’s coming next.
You can read all about our recruitment process over in the How We Hire section.
What we will never ask you to do
To help protect yourself, there are a few things Agoda will never do:
- Ask you to pay a single cent for interviews, job offers, training, or equipment.
- Request payment via gift cards, crypto, or wire transfers.
- Rush or pressure you into making immediate financial decisions.
- Ask for sensitive financial info over regular text or messaging apps.
Bottom line: If someone claiming to be from Agoda asks you for money, it’s not us.
3 quick ways to verify a recruitment message from Agoda
If you get a message about a role at Agoda and something feels just a little bit off, trust your instincts and take a moment to verify:
- Is the role listed on www.careersatagoda.com?
- Is the sender using an official email address ending in @agoda.com?
- Did it come out of nowhere on a personal messaging app e.g. Whatsapp or Line?
If the answer is feels unclear, pause and double-check before responding or taking any action.
What to do if something feels off
If you receive a suspicious message or a job offer that looks too good to be true, here is the best way to handle it:
- Don’t share: Keep your personal information, financial details, and bank accounts to yourself.
- Don’t click: Don’t click any suspicious links or download unexpected attachments.
- Report it: If you feel like you’ve accidentally shared information with the wrong person, it’s always a good idea to report it to your local cyber safety authorities.
- Let us know: Drop us a line through [email protected] or our official corporate social channels so our team can look into it.
