Start with the visible sender and the reply-to address
A recruiter email can look official in the display name while hiding a suspicious sender or reply-to address underneath. Always inspect the real sender domain and the actual address that replies will go back to.
Compare the domain against the public company website
The safest comparison point is the employer's official website and careers page. A legitimate company may have subdomains or recruiting systems, but the email should still make sense in the context of the public brand.
- +Check whether the domain matches the company website
- +Look for obvious misspellings, extra words, or lookalike domains
- +Be cautious if the recruiter cannot explain the domain difference clearly
Do not let a real-looking domain override other red flags
Even a domain that looks real should not cancel out payment pressure, no interview trail, or suspicious clauses. Domain checks are only one part of the verification process.
What to do if the domain still feels uncertain
Contact the company using public website details and ask whether the recruiter and role are genuine. If the recruiter resists that step or tries to keep the conversation private, take that seriously.
