Cyber Monday: The dangers of online recruiting

1A | 14 hours ago

The internet has transformed the way people look for work.

A recruiter can contact you from across the world… a job offer can arrive with a single message… a new opportunity can be just a click away.

But that same connectivity can be exploited.

Our Cyber Monday series continues with a look at how online recruiting is being used in unexpected ways. And we hear the story of a man who answered what looked like a promising job offer, only to discover that the reality was something else entirely.

This show was produced with help from Click Here’s Zach Hirsch.
