Protecting Your Identity
Important Note: ASGN does not hire contract employees, although many of our brands do. ASGN will not send you money to purchase additional equipment or ask for your credit card information during the hiring process. Additionally, we will never request a fee or require a deposit during or after the recruitment process. Our company does not use the Telegram app, Signal Private Messenger, Google Hangouts, or communicate using non-corporate email account addresses.
Rest assured that we understand how critical it is to safeguard your sensitive information. Learn ASGN's process, what we do — and don’t — ask for — so you can understand the steps we take to safeguard your personal information, and help protect your from phishing scams.
Information We Do and Don't Ask For
We will:
- Ask you to provide the last 4 digits of your Social Security number via phone call, and just the month and day of your birth, to verify your identity.
- Use a secure online portal.
- We are an E-verify company, meaning we’ll use this secure portal to complete your portion of Form I-9 online.
We will never:
- Ask for banking or other financial information as part of the application process.
- Send you money to purchase additional equipment or ask for your credit card information.
- Request any additional unique identifiers nor institutional data until your first placement has been directly confirmed with you.
- Ask you to share logins and passwords or other personal information with us (and you should be suspicious of anyone who does).
Tips to Help You Stay Secure Online
Unfortunately, some of the biggest risks to your personal data are low-tech: think scammers who’ll call or email you — posing as recruiters and employment agents to get access to your personal information, including bank and/or financial institution information.
Being secure online, in your job search and beyond, starts with being smart. If you don’t already, make these three simple steps a habit!
- If you don’t trust it, don’t click on it. Phishing scammers often send emails that include links and documents that contain malware or technology that can steal sensitive information, including online sign-in credentials and passwords. Go with your gut, and if you don’t trust it, don’t click on it. And if you’re unsure about an email you’ve received, contact us
- If someone you don’t know calls, emails, or texts you to ask for personal information, such as your bank account or full Social Security number, don’t give it to them. Some scammers fake caller ID numbers. If you have even the slightest doubt, contact the organization through official channels and investigate. For anything ASGN related, feel free to contact us.
- Create complicated, unique, difficult-to-crack passwords with a minimum of eight characters (many cybersecurity firms recommend at least 15 or even 20 characters). Never reuse a password and update passwords regularly. Resist the temptation to store your passwords in your browser.
