How to Recognize Fraudulent Job Posts
In recent years, there’s been a rise in fraudulent job posts and job offers that target both organizations and applicants. These kinds of scams can jeopardize your personal information by asking you to send money or share personal details.
With the volume of available roles at AdventHealth, we’re not able to confirm each individual listing, including those that are reposted or generated by third-party websites. However, we can provide you with more information about our hiring process to help you determine if the job you’re considering is authentic.
We’re passionate about protecting our team members and candidates, and never want you to become a victim of a job scam. Learn more about what to look for below.
Safety Tips for the Job Application Process
We’re grateful for your interest in open positions on our team. There are a few key details to look for when applying to an open role or emailing with an HR representative.

At AdventHealth, our protocol for posting jobs and the hiring process follows standard, ethical guidelines that will not jeopardize you or your personal information. AdventHealth and its recruiters will always:
- Communicate using an official AdventHealth email address that ends with the “@AdventHealth.com” domain
- Host available roles on the official AdventHealth careers website in addition to any third-party sites
- Use AdventHealth’s official Taleo hiring portal to maintain and track the status of individual roles
- Red Flags That May Indicate a Scam
-
AdventHealth and its authorized recruiters will never use email accounts with domains like gmail.com, yahoo.com or aol.com.
We will also never do any of the following, including:
- Ask applicants to send or transfer money or provide information about their personal bank accounts
- Offer gift cards, cashier’s checks or pre-payment of signing bonuses or paychecks
- Require the purchase of equipment (other than uniforms) like computers or other technology
- Request personal information such as bank account and routing numbers or Social Security numbers outside of our official employee portal, Taleo
In some circumstances, official AdventHealth representatives may ask applicants to conduct virtual interviews on third-party platforms or communicate via text messaging apps.
However, these situations are exceptions and will only occur for roles available through our official Taleo hiring platform and alongside email communication that originates from an AdventHealth.com email address.
Before you speak with anyone outside our official platforms, please confirm you've also received communication via our official channels.

Check Your Status and Report Issues
Our careers site is live and updates in real time. If you’re not sure an offer or request for information is legitimate, you can always check the status of your application or verify an offer within our hiring portal. If you have not previously used the Taleo hiring portal or the role currently in question is not listed in your account, the job for which you applied is likely not a legitimate open position with AdventHealth.
Please know that our organization is actively working to combat these scams through a number of tactics, including meeting with prominent career sites directly, and coordinating with local, state and federal law enforcement. We recommend you report your experience as well to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), the department responsible for handling such cases here. Providing them with as much information as possible, including the contact information of the individual communicating with you as well as examples of that communication, will assist the FBI in conducting a thorough inquiry and taking appropriate actions to resolve the matter. You may also choose to report your experience with local law enforcement.
