How to Check a Job Vacancy and Employer Before Applying

Review the employer identity

Check the employer name, location and available company information. On AB Vacancy, public employer pages and verification indicators are intended to help candidates distinguish approved platform employers from unverified submissions.

• Compare the employer name across the vacancy and company profile.
• Look for consistent contact and company information.
• Be cautious when someone asks you to continue through an unrelated identity or channel.

Check whether the vacancy is specific

A credible vacancy should explain the role, location, responsibilities, experience expectations and key employment terms. Extremely vague descriptions make it difficult to judge whether the opportunity matches your profile.

• Confirm the position title and number of vacancies.
• Review salary and benefits when they are provided.
• Check application or closing dates and the current vacancy status.

Protect sensitive information

Do not send passwords, banking credentials or unnecessary personal documents to unknown contacts. Use the official application workflow and only provide additional recruitment documents when the process legitimately requires them.

Keep a record of the application

Save the vacancy reference and track progress through the platform. A structured record makes it easier to identify which role, employer and recruitment stage a later message refers to.
