It has been brought to our attention that there have been instances of fraudulent job offers, purporting to be from Hearst and/or its affiliates. These messages have been offering fraudulent employment opportunities to applicants and often asking for sensitive personal and financial information.

Please note that these communications are fraudulent. They do not originate from Hearst or any brands owned by Hearst nor are they associated with the Hearst recruitment process.

• Hearst (or any of the organizations that recruit on our behalf) will never ask for any money or payments from applicants, at any point in the recruitment process.
• All individuals who are successful in gaining an offer of employment from Hearst, whether directly or indirectly, are always required to go through a formal recruitment process, which will always involve a virtual or in person meeting with a Hearst employee or representative.
