Candidate safety

How to know it’s really us.

ABusyBee.me is a recruiting agency that places people in full-time, contract and temporary roles with real employers. Recruiting scams are common, so here is exactly how we contact candidates, and what we will never ask you for.

We will never

  • Charge you a fee to apply, be matched, interview or be hired. Employers pay us; candidates never do.
  • Ask for crypto, gift cards, wire transfers or a “deposit”, for any reason.
  • Sell you training, equipment or a starter kit, or send you a check to deposit and pass on.
  • Offer online “task” jobs: rating products, “optimizing data”, boosting apps or completing orders for commission.
  • Ask for your bank login, passwords or one-time codes.
  • Move you to an anonymous chat app to “finish onboarding” with someone who won’t give a name.

How we actually contact you

Your personal details

To apply, we only need what’s on our application form: your contact details, experience and the kind of work you want. We don’t need your Social Security number or bank details to apply or interview. Tax and payment paperwork happens only after you accept an offer, through the employer’s official onboarding.

A note on trucking lease-to-own programs

Some carriers’ lease-to-own programs require a down payment on the truck. That payment is part of a written lease agreement between you and the carrier, and you review the contract before signing anything. It is never paid to ABusyBee.me. Company drivers and owner operators with their own truck pay nothing.
