Recruitment and Hiring Scam Alert

Learn how to recognize legitimate Baird recruiting communications and protect yourself from fraudulent outreach.

Your safety matters in our hiring process

Baird is aware of instances in which individuals or organizations may represent themselves as affiliated with the firm to promote false employment opportunities. These communications may be received through email, social media or messaging platforms and may attempt to solicit personal or financial information from job seekers.

Please be cautious of recruiting communications that:

  • Reference your résumé or candidacy from a source you do not recognize
  • Offer employment without a formal interview process
  • Request payment, reimbursement or referrals to paid services as part of an application

Baird does not: 

  • Request payment, financial reimbursement or monetary transfers at any stage of the recruiting process
  • Seek sensitive personal information, such as Social Security numbers, banking details or passport information, prior to an accepted employment offer
  • Extend employment offers without completing an interview process
  • Make any cash or check advancements
  • Conduct recruiting or interviewing through instant messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram or similar services

Know what to expect

All legitimate Baird employment opportunities are posted on our official career site. Formal recruiting communications are conducted through official Baird communication channels, including email addresses ending in @rwbaird.com.

Employment-related scams can be increasingly sophisticated, and communications may appear credible or closely resemble legitimate recruiting outreach. If you receive a job-related message that appears inconsistent with the information above, we recommend exercising caution and verifying the opportunity through Baird’s official career site.
