Danfoss

Stay alert to fraudulent job offers

We are aware of attempts by external parties to impersonate Danfoss and advertise fake job opportunities.

In these cases, individuals may claim to represent Danfoss to collect personal information or request payments from applicants.

Please note:

Danfoss does not approach candidates with unsolicited job offers, nor do we request any form of payment or financial commitment during the hiring process.

What is recruitment fraud?

Recruitment fraud occurs when someone falsely presents themselves as a representative of a legitimate company—such as Danfoss—to deceive job seekers.

These scams are often carried out digitally and can involve:

  • Fake job advertisements or career websites
  • Emails or messages from unauthorized accounts
  • Individuals posing as recruiters or hiring managers
  • Fabricated interviews or employment offers

The primary goal is typically to obtain sensitive information or money.

How to recognize legitimate Danfoss recruitment?

To help you identify authentic interactions, please consider the following:

Apply via official channels

All legitimate Danfoss opportunities are published through our official careers site or trusted platforms that link to it. If a vacancy or application process does not connect back to Danfoss’ official systems, proceed with caution.

No payments at any stage

Danfoss will never:

  • Charge fees to apply or be considered for a job
  • Ask you to pay for equipment, visas or training
    Request any form of payment during recruitment

Any such request should be treated as a red flag.

Verify communication sources

Our recruiters communicate using official Danfoss email addresses only. For our talent community and automated interview scheduling technology, the sender email addresses also end with danfoss.com.

Be cautious if:

  • The sender uses a public email domain (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo)
  • The domain appears slightly altered or misspelled

Structured interview process

A genuine recruitment process at Danfoss includes direct interaction with our candidates, either virtually or in person.

We do not:

  • Conduct hiring decisions based solely on text or chat interactions
  • Make job offers without prior interviews

Protection of personal data

Sensitive financial details, such as banking or credit card information, are not requested early in the process.

If you are asked for this type of information before receiving a formal offer, it is likely not legitimate. We will only ask during our pre-boarding step or if we reimburse travel cost for onsite interviews.

 

If something does not feel right

If you are unsure about a communication claiming to be from Danfoss:

  • Do not respond or share personal information
  • Do not transfer money or complete any payments
  • Report on the situation to your local authorities
  • Reach out via official Danfoss channels to verify the contact

At Danfoss, we are committed to a transparent and trustworthy recruitment experience. We encourage all applicants to remain vigilant and to verify any communication before taking further steps.
