Recruitment Fraud and Job Scam Awareness

Protect yourself from common recruitment scams

At Envestnet, safeguarding the trust and safety of job seekers is a top priority. We are aware that scammers may impersonate Envestnet recruiters or create fake job opportunities to deceive candidates. Please review the information below to help you recognize and avoid recruitment fraud.

What is recruitment fraud?

Recruitment fraud occurs when individuals or organizations falsely claim to represent Envestnet—often through fake job postings, emails, text messages, or social media outreach. Their goal is typically to obtain personal information, money, or login credentials.

Below are common signs of recruitment scams:

  1. Fake job invitations

    You may receive unsolicited emails, texts, or messages claiming to be from Envestnet, inviting you to apply or interview. These often request personal information, payment, or login details.

  2. Imposter or suspicious email domains

    Scammers frequently use email domains that look legitimate but are misspelled or altered (e.g., @envestnets.com instead of @envestnet.com).

    Always verify that emails come from envestnet.com.

  3. Suspicious links or attachments

    Be cautious with messages that urge you to click unknown links or download files to “complete an application,” “verify your identity,” or “schedule an interview.”

    These can be attempts to steal information or install malware.

  4. Fake career websites or application portals

    Scammers may create fraudulent websites that mimic authentic career pages and ask for sensitive information such as login credentials, Social Security numbers, or financial details.

    Apply for roles only through the official Envestnet Careers.

  5. Requests for payment

    Envestnet will never ask you to pay any fees at any stage of the recruitment or onboarding process.

    If you are ever asked to send money, purchase equipment upfront, or pay for training or certification as a condition of employment, it is a scam.

How to verify legitimate communications from Envestnet

To ensure you're interacting with an authentic Envestnet recruiter or system:

  • Check the sender’s email address. Communications should come from @envestnet.com
  • Apply only through approved channels. All legitimate Envestnet roles are posted and managed through the official Envestnet Careers site.
  • Envestnet will never:
    1. Request payment or banking details as part of the hiring process.
    2. Ask for Social Security Number, national ID, or other sensitive information before an official offer and secure onboarding steps.
    3. Conduct interviews solely through secured platforms such as Microsoft Teams.

If you encounter contract opportunities

Ensure that the platform or posting is legitimate and connected to an authorized Envestnet approved vendor. If a contract role is not listed through an official partner or verified channel, it is not a legitimate Envestnet opportunity.

What to do if you suspect a scam

If you believe you have been targeted by recruitment fraud:

  • Do not respond or share personal information.
  • Do not click on links or download unknown attachments.
  • Report the incident to your email provider using the “report phishing” feature.
  • If applicable, notify your local law enforcement agency.
  • If you received the suspicious communication via email, you may also forward it to your organization’s security/IT team for guidance (if you are internal) or follow your email provider’s phishing reporting procedure.

Stay safe

Envestnet is committed to a fair, transparent, and secure recruitment experience.

If you receive a communication that seems unusual or too good to be true, or if you have any doubts about an opportunity claiming to be from Envestnet, please verify through the official https://careers.envestnet.com/ or contact Envestnet directly through the contact channels listed there.
