Recruitment scam warning

Scammers sometimes pose as recruiters for well-known companies, including car dealerships. Here is how to know it is really us.

We will never

  • Charge you a fee to apply, interview, get placed or start a job. Candidates never pay us anything. Dealerships pay our fees.
  • Ask for your bank account, Social Security number, driver's license or other ID by text, chat or social media message.
  • Send you a check, ask you to deposit one, or ask you to buy equipment, gift cards or cryptocurrency.
  • Interview you only by text or chat app, or make a job offer without you speaking to the dealership.

How to know it is us

  • Email comes only from addresses ending in @dealershiprecruiting.com or @sherwoodrecruiting.com.
  • Phone and text come from (574) 213-7122.
  • Jobs we link to on our jobs page go to the dealer group's own career site. A real dealership will collect hiring paperwork through its own process after an offer.

If you are not sure, contact us directly at support@dealershiprecruiting.com or (574) 213-7122 before you reply or share anything.

Red flags

  • An offer that arrives before any real interview, or pay that sounds too good to be true.
  • Email from a free account such as Gmail or Yahoo, or a domain that is close to ours but not exact.
  • Pressure to act fast, keep it secret or move the conversation to WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal.
