12. Reporting Fraudulent Job Listings

Clever Recruiter™ is committed to maintaining a platform of trust and integrity. While we strive to ensure the authenticity of all job listings, we do not independently verify every listing posted by employers.

If you believe a job listing is fraudulent, misleading, or violates our Terms of Service, please report it immediately at support@cleverrecruiter.com.

We investigate all reports and take appropriate action, including removing listings or suspending accounts when necessary. Your feedback helps us keep the platform safe for all users.
