Protect yourself and your Jobsdb account
Follow these tips to stay safe throughout your recruitment process.
Log out and clear browser cache on public or shared devices. If you’ve accessed your Jobsdb account on a shared or public device, always log out and clear the browser cache to ensure no one else can access your account.
Monitor account activity regularly. Check your account for unusual activity, such as unauthorised login attempts, job ads you did not create or unexpected changes to job postings. Promptly address any abnormality by reporting the issue to Jobsdb.
Use unique passwords for each account. Avoid reusing passwords across multiple accounts. If one account is breached, using different passwords ensures cyber criminals won’t gain access to your other accounts.
Choose a long and strong password. Use a strong password combining 8 characters or more, uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols.
Avoid storing passwords in browsers. Do not allow web browsers to store your Jobsdb password, especially on shared or public devices. This prevents unauthorised users from accessing your account.
Never share your password. Avoid sharing your Jobsdb account password with anyone.
Adding users: If you have additional staff accessing your Jobsdb account to help manage applications or create ads, make sure you add them as individual users. You can create additional users as a standard user or as an administrator, which gives them greater access to functions, such as managing user permissions. You can also assign a user to a specific task, so they can only view and access information for that task.
Keep access up to date: If someone leaves your organisation, promptly remove them as a user to ensure they no longer have access to your Jobsdb account.

Verify the sender’s email address. If the email appears to be from Jobsdb but has an email domain other than @jobsdb.com, @employer.seek.com, @talentsearch.seek.com, @seekasia.com or @seek.com, it is likely a phishing email. Avoid clicking on any links or opening any attachments.
Be cautious of requests for sensitive information. Jobsdb will never send request for your credentials, such as usernames, passwords, bank or billing details or other personal information.
Question vague information. Scammers keep the email subject and email body vague to induce your sense of curiosity to trick you into clicking on the phishing link or downloading the malicious attachment.
Beware of brand inconsistencies. Be cautious of phishing emails using low-resolution logos, outdated Jobsdb branding or incorrect colour schemes.
Be cautious of urgency and fear tactics. Scammers state a short timeframe to pressure you into acting quickly on their requests, often by threatening negative consequences if you don't respond in time.

Text Message
The only text message (SMS) you may receive from Jobsdb will be for a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) request to the phone number paired with your Jobsdb account. Only approve the MFA request if you were in the midst of logging into your Jobsdb account and the details on the request matches. You may also receive an MFA request through your authentication app.
