How does the Recruiter Message Checker work?

Paste a recruiter's LinkedIn message or DM, and it's scored against patterns common in recruiter impersonation scams, plus a few quick questions only you can answer.

Does a clean score mean the recruiter is definitely legitimate?

No. Always independently verify a recruiter's identity and the company before sharing personal information, even with a clean score.
