Information on Recruitment Fraud

Vulcan has become aware of potential applicants being the subject of recruitment scams in which a perpetrator falsely claims to represent Vulcan Materials Company and/or its affiliates (“Vulcan”) in extending job opportunities.

Vulcan is dedicated to the privacy of all potential applicants and seeks to avoid and prevent its potential job applicants from becoming victims of recruitment scams.

What is Recruitment Fraud?

Recruitment fraud is a sophisticated scam involving the offer of false job opportunities to job seekers. This type of fraud is typically carried out online through fake websites or unsolicited emails claiming to have come from a trusted company.

The aim of the fraud is to obtain personal information, money, or both. The fraudsters often request recipients to provide sensitive personally identifiable information (“PII”) and/or to make payments as part of their fake recruiting process. Vulcan will only ask for sensitive PII during the “new hire” onboarding process, which only occurs after an offer of employment has been accepted (following an in-person interview at a physical Vulcan location). Vulcan also does not seek a financial commitment or contribution (e.g., the cost of travel arrangements) during any stage of recruiting).
