Protect yourself from recruitment fraud


Online scammers are actively targeting job seekers by fraudulently using Oshkosh Corporation's — and/or its subsidiaries — name, logo, addresses and even the identities of actual team members to deceive individuals into providing sensitive personal information. Victims commonly experience unsolicited emails or text messages referencing supposed job openings and inviting them to interviews via links to platforms like Microsoft Teams. These fraudulent communications appear convincing — often mimicking official Oshkosh branding, using realistic company addresses and mentioning genuine employee names.

BE AWARE OF COMMON JOB SCAM TACTICS
 
Recruitment scams can be tricky, but knowing how Oshkosh Corporation communicates can help you stay safe:
  • Always verify job listings by visiting our official careers page at careers.oshkoshcorp.com. Even if you find roles on LinkedIn, Indeed or state job boards, genuine postings will direct you back to our site to apply.
  • Our recruiters always use official company email addresses and never reach out from personal or free email accounts like Gmail or Yahoo.
  • We will never ask you for payments, gift cards or sensitive personal information such as banking details or social security numbers early in the recruitment process.
  • You'll never be asked to purchase equipment, such as laptops or phones, using your personal funds. Oshkosh provides all necessary equipment.
  • Watch for common scam indicators like spelling errors, incorrect information or urgent requests that feel unusual. And trust your instincts. If something seems off, verify details directly with Oshkosh Corporation through official channels.

IF YOU SUSPECT YOU'VE ENCOUNTERED RECRUITMENT FRAUD:

  • Report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at reportfraud.ftc.gov. You can also report it to your state attorney general.
