Recruitment Fraud Advisory

Pierian Services has been made aware of fraudulent job offers being circulated by individuals impersonating our company. These scams typically target candidates through LinkedIn and email, using lookalike domains, the names of real Pierian employees, and fabricated offer letters.

If you have received a job offer claiming to be from Pierian Services, please verify it against the points below before responding.

How to identify a genuine Pierian communication

• Our only official recruiter email domain is @pierianservices.com (with the trailing “s”). We do not use pierianservice.com, perianservices.com, pierian-services.com, or any similar variation.
•  All interviews are conducted through scheduled meetings on our corporate Microsoft Teams tenant — never via personal teams.live.com links.
•  Offers are only extended after a formal interview process with named members of our Talent Acquisition team, whose identities can be verified on our official LinkedIn company page.
•  Our recruitment process is documented and traceable. Genuine offers reference a specific role, location, reporting manager, and interview history.

What Pierian Services will never do

• We will never ask candidates to pay any amount — for equipment, training, software, background checks, onboarding, or any other reason.
•  We will never send funds to a candidate to purchase equipment or set up a remote workstation. Any communication offering to transfer money to you for these purposes is fraudulent.
•  We will never ask for sensitive personal information such as bank account details, payment card numbers, or government identification before a formal employment relationship is established through our verified channels.
•  We will never require you to sign an offer within 24 or 48 hours, or pressure you to act before you can verify our identity.

If you believe you have received a fraudulent offer

1.  Do not respond, sign, or share any personal information with the sender.
2.  Do not deposit any cheque or accept any fund transfer from them.
3.  Preserve the full email trail and any attachments as evidence.
4.  Report the incident to your local cybercrime authority. In India: cybercrime.gov.in or 1930.

Outside India: your national cybercrime or consumer protection agency.

5.  Forward the full message trail to itsecurity@pierianservices.com so we can incorporate it into our ongoing investigation and takedown actions.

If you are uncertain whether a communication is genuinely from Pierian Services, please contact us at itsecurity@pierianservices.com before responding to the sender.

We would much rather verify a genuine offer than have you fall victim to a scam.
