Recruitment site demands credit card info and falsifies CV data
🧭 workboth problemSingle report ●●●●●
A job seeker in the Gulf region reports that a recruitment platform is requiring credit card information for a 'verification hold' and ID documentation before an interview, while simultaneously forcing the user to display AI-generated, falsified information on their resume that cannot be edited.
What people do today
- Searching for company reviews online
- Considering manual credit report upload
- Contemplating withdrawing from the platform
🔧 Fix this
Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:
- A browser extension that flags recruitment sites requesting payment or sensitive financial data during the application process.
- A verification service that allows job seekers to securely share third-party verified background check reports instead of providing raw ID and credit card data to recruiters.
- A standardized 'Truth-in-Recruitment' platform policy that mandates users have full editorial control over all AI-generated resume content.

“The AI alters my work/accomplishment information quite a bit—it puts some percentage values and other things here and there, seemingly out of nowhere.”
