ASTA-USA Translation Services, Inc. Warns of Online Employment Scams

ASTA-USA Translation Services Inc., a prominent provider of professional translation services, alerts both businesses in need of translators and job seekers to the increase in online employment scams. Highlighting recent instances where the company's name and website were misused in fraudulent schemes, ASTA-USA emphasizes the importance of vigilance when searching for translation job opportunities.

The company points to the surge of remote and freelance work as a contributing factor to the rise in employment scams across industries, putting job seekers at risk of identity theft, financial loss, and other cyber crimes. ASTA-USA's CEO, Alain J. Roy cautions job seekers about the potential vulnerabilities, especially for those whose primary language isn't English, and advises businesses to be cautious of exploitative firms.

Roy offers guidance for applying to online translation positions, noting that ASTA-USA does not post individual jobs on external platforms nor contacts candidates through informal channels like Telegram or Instagram. He underscores that legitimate job opportunities will never require applicants to incur upfront costs or engage in unpaid work as part of the hiring process.

ASTA-USA's stringent hiring protocol, involving background checks, skills assessments, and certifications, reflects the company's commitment to quality and security. Roy assures that genuine translation service companies prioritize professional experience and qualifications in their recruitment processes.
