How to Verify WilliamCharles Search Group Recruiters

At WilliamCharles Search Group, we understand that job seekers need to be cautious about who they share their information with online. Here’s how you can verify that you’re working with a legitimate recruiter from our team:

Our Standard Communication Practices

• We primarily use corporate email addresses ending with @william-charles.com
• Our initial outreach always references specific details about your experience or the role
• We never charge candidates for resume reviews, interview preparation, or placement services
• We’re happy to schedule a video call to establish a face-to-face connection
• We maintain complete LinkedIn profiles with our company listed as our current employer

How to Verify Our Identity

1. Check up on our LinkedIn. Our recruiters maintain active LinkedIn profiles with connections to other team members and company leadership.
2. We always use our @william-charles.com email domain for official communication.
3. Call our Grand Rapids office at 616-464-4355 or Pittsburgh office at 412-392-7260. Ask to speak with your recruiter.

Red Flags That May Indicate a Scammer
Be cautious if someone claiming to be a recruiter…

• Sends something from a generic email address (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.)
• Cannot provide specific details about the position beyond what’s in a job posting
• Asks for payment or suggests paid services for resume evaluation or interview prep
• Requests sensitive personal information (SSN, banking details) early in the process
• Is unwilling to conduct a video call or speak by phone
• Has very few LinkedIn connections or a sparse, recently created profile

Our Commitment to You
At WilliamCharles Search Group, we value your privacy and security. We will never…

• Share your personal information without your explicit permission
• Pressure you to make hasty decisions about opportunities
• Charge you for our recruitment services
• Use automated bots for initial candidate communication

If you ever have concerns about communication you’ve received from someone claiming to be from our team, please contact us directly at info@william-charles.com or call 616-464-4355.
