How to stay safe:
Avesis is aware of fraudulent activity by individuals falsely representing themselves as Avesis recruiters. In some instances, these individuals may even contact applicants with a job offer letter, ask applicants to make purchases (i.e., a laptop or gift cards) from a designated vendor, have applicants fill out W-2 forms, or ask that applicants ship or send packages of goods to the company.
Avesis would never make such requests to applicants at any time throughout our job application process. We also would never ask applicants for personal information, such as passport numbers, bank account numbers, or social security numbers, during process. Our recruitment process takes place by phone and via trusted business communication platform (i.e., Zoom, Webex, Microsoft Teams, etc.). Any emails from Avesis recruiters will come from a verified email address ending in @Avesis.com.

We urge all applicants to exercise caution. If something feels off about your interactions, we encourage you to suspend or cease communications. If you are unsure of the legitimacy of a communication you have received, please reach out to ITsupport@Avesis.com.
