00:01Most of it will be the sensitive information, such as if you have a government security
00:08clearance that will be extremely sensitive.
00:11Some of the personal details that are beyond what usually you can find online, such as
00:18the address or the mobile contact number, and also some of the job history that you
00:25may not have shared with somebody else.
00:27So all this information could be used, for example, to game or to create a social engineering
00:35kind of strategy towards you.
00:38It's pretty hard to initially, you know, with one simple unsolicited message to determine
00:45if a person is a bona fide recruiter.
00:49So I guess you can look for some red flags, like for example, if they're using Gmail or
00:56Outlook accounts and non-legitimate accounts for contacting you, then perhaps that's one
01:04of the red flags.
01:04The other one is they somehow want to pressurize you into making some payments for improving
01:13your CV or, for example, helping you to get on board some of these so-called training programs.
01:21When they ask for money, it's usually not a very good sign.
01:24And also some of the things that can help you to tell them part is you might want to just
01:32independently do a verification.
01:35You know, if they say that they are from this organization, most likely they will, you know,
01:41if they are real, they will have a profile in the recruiter companies page.
01:46But then again, the recruitment company's website could be fake.
01:52So you have to be very careful with the URLs and the source and the information of the website
01:58as well.
01:58So you have to be kind of doubly or triply careful with everything that you do.
02:06Try not to engage on the first instance.
02:08That's my recommendation.
02:09That's my recommendation.
