How Do I Know Emails from Tendo Jobs are Legitimate?

The only emails you will receive from Tendo Jobs will be notifications to check your account at www.tendojobs.com. Emails are an extremely insecure form of communication which can be easily spoofed by hackers which is why we will never include any personal information in email communications and instead will always direct you to the website.

As an added form of security, we always recommend opening the website directly within your web browser by typing in www.tendojobs.com and not clicking on any links in emails. Spoofing links within emails is a common way hackers can steal your account login details which can be prevented when you type in the website address directly into your web browser.

The only email you will receive from Tendo Jobs where you are required to click on a link within the email is your initial registration email validation link. This will arrive within a few minutes of you registering your email address and password on the website. If you receive the email at any other point, the chances are that it is not from us so be aware and don’t click on any links within the email.

Job Hunter FAQ

 

Where Do I Upload My CV

A Curriculum Vitae, CV, is a document which was designed over 500 years ago with Leonardo da Vinci being credited as the first professional to write a résumé in 1482. When it comes to applying for jobs, the CV is an outdated method and a method that is extremely inefficient for both applicants and employers. Everyone “works well on their own or as part of a team”. Boring. Employers want to see your passion for what you do, so at Tendo Jobs we provide the platform to allow you to showcase yourself by matching your skills, knowledge and experience directly with what the employer is looking for. Much more effective.

What Personal Information Can Employers See About Me?

Employers want to get to know you as much as possible so they have access to the information that is specific to the job you are applying for including, job application details, personal information including contact details and work history. All of the traditional information that you would provide to an employer when applying for a job.

When they invite you to interview for further discussions, contact details will be shared to allow you to discuss the job in more detail with the employer. If there is anything you are unsure about related to the job, it would be recommended to ask questions as part of your job application within the relevant field.

Why Do I Have to Show Salary Information

To attract the right candidates to your vacancy you need to be showing salary information before job hunters apply. Expecting quality applicants to apply for a job without knowing the salary details is not going to happen. You will end up with inexperienced staff applying for senior positions and experienced staff not applying as they believe the salary is too low. If you don’t want to be specific with the salary details, list your job as having a negotiable salary with a minimum and maximum level.
