Important notice for candidates
Job scams are on the rise, and fraudsters sometimes impersonate companies like Monq to target applicants. Please keep these guidelines in mind when applying for any of our open roles:
- Apply only through official Monq channels. We post roles solely on our own careers page and verified partner job boards such as LinkedIn. We don't use third-party agents or platforms to manage our recruitment, and we'll never contact you about a role you didn't apply for.
- Verify every email. All genuine communication from our team comes from an official @monq.io address. Check the sender's full address carefully—lookalike domains (extra letters, swapped characters, or free email providers like Gmail or Outlook) are a red flag.
- We will never ask for money or financial details. Monq does not request payment, equipment fees, or personal financial information (bank details, card numbers, deposits) at any stage of the hiring process. Any such request is a scam.
- When in doubt, confirm. If something feels off, pause and verify directly with us before responding or sharing any information.
- If you receive a suspicious message claiming to be from Monq, please don't reply or click any links. Report it to us at security@monq.io and, where relevant, to your local authorities.
