National University prides itself on the supportive and team-orientated environment that we share where accomplishments are celebrated, advancement and growth opportunities are supported, and leadership means leading by example with care and encouragement.
National University is aware of incidents where criminals are using company brands to post fictitious job descriptions and send fraudulent job offers. In some cases, these individuals may ask for money, banking details, Social Security numbers, or other personal information under false pretenses.
These scams have become more sophisticated and can appear as legitimate recruitment activities. They are often found on third-party job boards, social media platforms, or through direct email approaches.
This type of scam, known as recruitment fraud, is becoming increasingly common.
National University takes this matter seriously and works actively to prevent the misuse of our brand for fraudulent activity. At no point will National University ever ask for money, credit card details, or bank account information as part of the recruitment process. We encourage all job seekers to exercise caution when sharing personal information and to verify any job-related communications.
How to Ensure a Job Offer is Legitimate
- We conduct interviews before extending any job offer. Any offer received without an interview is likely fraudulent.
- All official communications from National University will come from an @nu.edu email address or nus@myworkday.com.
- All open positions are posted on our official Careers Page at nu.edu/careers.
- Candidates can check their application status through the Workday Candidate Portal as part of our standard recruitment process.
- If contacted via LinkedIn or email, verify the sender and confirm any job opportunity through our Careers Page.
How to Identify a Phishing Scam
- Be cautious of generic emails – Scammers often send vague job offers with little or no specific information about the position or company.
- Check email addresses carefully – National University emails will always come from @nu.edu. Be wary of messages from free email services (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo) or misspelled company domains.
- Never provide financial information or make payments – National University never asks for payments or banking details during the recruitment process.
- Beware of “too-good-to-be-true” job offers – If a job promises extremely high pay with little to no experience required, it is likely fraudulent.
How to Report a Suspicious Job Offer
If you receive a suspicious communication regarding a job offer, do not respond, click links, or provide personal information. Instead, report it to servicedesk@nu.edu
