Trust & safety
Safer hiring starts with clearer information.
Jobly gives candidates and employers practical signals for trustworthy hiring: clearer job posts, better company profiles, verification paths, and fast reporting when something looks wrong.
Do not pay to apply
Jobly rules prohibit employers from charging applicants for placement, training, uniforms, or processing. Report any listing or message that asks you for money.
What the employer badges mean
A company page may show a DMW-licensed, verified, pledged, or not-yet-verified status. Read the badge before you apply.
Recruitment licence checked against DMW records. Never pay this employer a placement fee.
Business registration reviewed by Jobly and the no-fees pledge signed.
This employer certified it never charges applicants. Documents are still under review.
Jobly has not reviewed this employer’s documents. Take extra care and never send money.
How Jobly protects you
One report can hide a posting
Report a job for asking you for money and an unverified posting is hidden from the board immediately, pending human review. Verified employers need a second independent report, so a single malicious flag cannot take down a legitimate job.
Applicant Respect Score
Based on application activity recorded on Jobly over the last 90 days: openings, time to first recorded action, and applications without a recorded decision. Public scores require at least 10 measured applications. Activity outside Jobly is not visible to us. This is not a hiring guarantee or employer verification. Employers cannot edit the score; contact Jobly with the company link and supporting details to request a record review.
No indefinite waiting
If an employer does not respond within its published decision window, Jobly closes the application as no employer response and updates the employer's score. This automatic closure is not an employer rejection.
Warning signs of a recruitment scam
Jobly requires employers to pledge that they do not charge applicants fees. If a posting asks you for money or shows these warning signs, stop and report it.
- Asks for any placement, processing, training, uniform, or requirements fee, including through a personal payment account.
- Offers pay far above the going rate for the role with almost no requirements.
- Refuses a call or office address, pressures you to decide immediately, or asks for your bank OTP or PIN.
If someone asked you for money
- Stop sending money and keep the messages and receipts.
- Open the job on Jobly and use Report this job → “They asked me for money”. Tell us the amount and how they asked you to send it. Your identity is never shown to the employer.
- Report online fraud to the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group. Report overseas recruitment concerns to the DMW.
Before you apply
Review the job and company details before sharing personal information. A legitimate hiring process should be specific, consistent, and free to join.
- The role explains pay, location, schedule, and hiring steps.
- The employer profile includes a website, contact details, and company information you can check.
- No one asks for fees, gift cards, an OTP, a PIN, or access to your bank account.
Employer standards
Strong employer pages convert better because candidates can understand who they are talking to and what the role really involves.
- Post accurate titles, salary details where possible, and realistic requirements.
- Keep company information current and use one company identity.
- Do not request fees or unnecessary identity documents from applicants.
Verified employers
Verification helps identify company-controlled profiles and gives candidates another trust signal.
Review for new, unverified employers
Jobs from unverified employers in their first 30 days on Jobly wait for team review before appearing publicly. Verified employers and older accounts can publish immediately; public listings may still be reviewed or removed.
Report issues
Every job post has a Report option. Use it, or contact Jobly with the job link and message details.
