Beware of Recruitment Scams
At EyeCare Partners, protecting candidates and maintaining a transparent hiring process is important to us. Please be aware of recruitment scams in which individuals impersonate employers to encourage candidates to apply for, interview for, or accept job opportunities. These scams are often designed to acquire personal information, obtain payments through fake, fraudulent actions or gain unauthorized access to financial, email or other personal accounts.
While these roles are often fabricated, they may also reference real opportunities to appear more credible and obtain personal information or money. Employment opportunities at EyeCare Partners will always be posted on our official Careers site: https://www.eyecare-partners.com/careers/
Never share sensitive personal information unless you are confident you are communicating with an authorized representative of EyeCare Partners.

Signs of a Recruitment Scam
Be cautious if you encounter:
- Messages about roles that do not appear on the EyeCare Partners Careers site
- Requests for payment, fees or purchases related to a job opportunity
- Emails from personal accounts, such as Gmail, Yahoo or other unverified email addresses
- Requests for sensitive personal or financial information early in the hiring process
- Requests to communicate exclusively through messaging apps or unfamiliar platforms (e.g., iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, or similar services)
- Job offers extended without a formal interview process
- Messages that create a sense of urgency or pressure for you to act quickly
- Communications that do not reference a specific role or include clear job details
EyeCare Partners recruiters will never:

- Request bank account, credit card, financial information or money in order to apply for a job
- Extend a job offer without first engaging through our official hiring process
- Conduct interviews solely through text or messaging platforms
