Cisco’s greatest strength is its people. To ensure that we hire the best talent in the right way, we follow a strict hiring process, and recently, Cisco has been made aware of fraudulent recruiters claiming to be from the company. Please be advised that any communication from Cisco recruiters about careers will:

  • be in direct response to an application you have submitted through the company jobs site
  • begin with screening or an interview
  • originate from a Cisco email address, and
  • be conducted across email, phone, or WebEx

Cisco will never make a job offer without conducting an interview process or ask candidates for payments in any way. All formal applications status can be viewed through https://jobs.cisco.com, with all offers coming from Cisco Recruiting mailer with directions to access via a secure portal. If you have been requested to apply for a role or have received an offer from sites or channels other than above mentioned, please do not provide any personal identifying information, including your Social Security or other personal identifying number, birth certificate, banking information, driver's license, or passport.

If you are the target of a recruiting scam, consider filing a report with your local law enforcement authorities. Cisco bears no responsibility and cannot be held liable for any claims, damages, expenses, or other inconvenience resulting from or in any way connected to recruiting scams.
