What this source supports: Check a recruiter and company independently. Treat requests for money or sensitive information before a verified hire as warning signs.
Source limit: An email domain, profile, or job listing alone does not prove that a recruiter is genuine. Confirm through the employer's known official route.

What does the App not do?
