At Sheffield Research, we take fraud prevention seriously. As a consulting firm connecting job seekers and employers across the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, we are committed to protecting our users from scams, misleading offers, and fraudulent activities.

Common Types of Fraud

Be aware of the following fraudulent practices:

  • Fake Job Offers: Scammers may impersonate employers or recruiters, offering jobs that do not exist.
  • Payment Requests: Legitimate employers will never ask job seekers to pay fees for interviews, training, or job placement.
  • Phishing Emails: Fraudsters may send emails pretending to be Sheffield Research or employers, asking for sensitive information.
  • Identity Theft: Requests for unnecessary personal details (such as bank accounts, social security numbers, or passport scans) may indicate fraud.
  • Unverified Employers: Some individuals may pose as companies without proper registration or verification.

How to Protect Yourself

  • Verify all job postings and offers directly with the employer.
  • Never send money or share financial details to secure a job.
  • Confirm that communications come from official Sheffield Research channels (e.g., @sheffieldresearch.com email addresses).
  • Report suspicious activity immediately to our support team.
  • Use caution when sharing personal information online.

Our Commitment

  • Sheffield Research does not charge job seekers for job placement.
  • We verify employers and postings to the best of our ability, but users must exercise caution.
  • We continuously monitor for fraudulent activity and take action against misuse of our platform.
