Allegis Group, which ranks as the largest staffing firm in the US based on revenue, said it has discovered fraudulent behavior where individuals are falsely representing themselves as employees, agents, recruiters or representatives of Allegis Group or its brands: Aerotek, TEKsystems, Actalent, Aston Carter and Allegis Global Solutions. The fraudsters are contacting job seekers about an employment or investment opportunity.

“Allegis Group or its brands will never ask prospective job seekers for any payment to access our employment services including attending interviews or to receive job offers,” the company said in a statement. “Allegis Group or its brands, also will never ask candidates to pay a fee to secure employment or in order to receive payment of their wages or salary. In addition, Allegis Group or its brands do not operate any websites or mobile applications which ask people to make investments, purchase products or pay any money to receive commission payments.” It also said neither Allegis Group nor its brands offer payment for engaging with social media or liking videos or blog posts. 

In addition, Allegis urged caution when opening links or attachments from unknown third parties and noted that emails from Allegis or its brands end in the correct domain names such as @allegisgroup.com, @aerotek.com, @teksystems.com, @actalentservices.com, @astoncarter.com or @allegisglobalsolutions.com.

“If you have been contacted or have sent money in relation to an Allegis Group, Aerotek, TEKsystems, Actalent, Aston Carter or Allegis Global Solutions interview; employment offer, work carried out or an investment scheme, please contact us at apac.reportfraud@allegisgroup.com  and report the incident.
