Important Notice: Protect Yourself from Job Application Fraud

When applying for a job at Polytek, it's important to be aware of potential fraud schemes. Polytek will only contact candidates through official channels: our job portal (Paylocity) , a direct phone call from a team member, or an email from a verified @polytek.com address. We ask that all candidates apply directly to our website. We never ask candidates to make any form of payment at any point during the application process, including for interviews, background checks, or travel expenses. If you're asked for money, this is a clear indication that you may be dealing with a scam.

Additionally, Polytek will never request sensitive personal information such as your Social Security number, financial details, driver’s license, passport information, or birth certificate via email or phone. Any unsolicited request for this type of information should be treated as suspicious. If you believe you’ve been targeted by a scam or have fallen victim to identity theft, it’s important to contact your local police department immediately and report the incident. You should also report any fraudulent job listings to the platform where they were posted. By staying vigilant and following these guidelines, you can protect your personal information and ensure a safe job search experience.
