Beware of Recruitment Scams We have been made aware of individuals fraudulently posing as members of our Talent Acquisition team and extending fake job offers. These scams may involve requests for personal information or payment for equipment. Protect yourself by following these steps: Verify that all communications from our recruiting team come from an @banyansoftware.com email address. Remember, employers will never request payment or banking information during the hiring process. If you receive a suspicious message, do not respond — instead, forward it to careers@banyansoftware.com and/or report it to the platform where you received it. Your safety and security are important to us. Thank you for staying vigilant.
