Job Scams

Recruitment scams are on the rise and the intent is to target individuals looking for employment opportunities. To protect yourself, we urge you to be vigilant and follow these guidelines.

​1.) Research the Company: Thoroughly research any company before applying or sharing personal information, check their website, read reviews, and verify their legitimacy.

2.) Be Wary of Unrealistic Promises: Exercise caution If a job posting offers high salaries and minimal qualifications. Legitimate jobs will have realistic expectations and provide detailed job requirements. Jobs at Cencora can be found on Cencora.com/careers

3.) Guard Your Personal Information: Only share sensitive information after vetting the employer’s credibility. Avoid sharing your Social Security number, bank account details, or identification documents during the application process. Cencora does not request this information as part of the employment application.

4.) Avoid Upfront Payments: Legitimate employers do not require payment during the hiring process. Be suspicious if you are asked to pay for training materials, processing fees, or background checks before securing a job offer. Cencora will never ask you for payment information during the hiring or onboarding process.

5.) Verify Communication Channels: Scammers often use free email services or chat platforms without providing an official company contact information. Cencora recruiters will have an email address ending in @cencora.com, @alliance-healthcare.net, @alliance-healthcare.co.uk, alliance-healthcare.fr or alliance-healthcare.ro

Remember to stay vigilant and informed about common scam tactics to reduce the risk of falling victim to fraudulent employment schemes.
