Learn about the practices and features that make your experience as secure as possible.

Private Resumes: Job seekers can make their resumes private, ensuring they are only viewable by the employers they contact.

Suspicious Login Notifications: Users may be prompted to enter a verification code when a suspicious login is detected, adding an extra layer of security.

Regular System Assessments: We perform regular vulnerability assessments of our systems and network to identify and address potential security issues.

Information Security: JobMinglr employs reasonable security measures to help protect against the loss, misuse, and alteration of personal information under our control. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. Additionally, emails and messages sent via your web browser or similar means are not encrypted. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Account Safety Tips

We encourage all our users to be cautious and proactive to protect against security threats and scams. Here are some simple steps you can take to safeguard your personal information:

Create a Stronger Password: Use a strong, unique password for your JobMinglr account.

Reset Your PasswordI: f you suspect someone may have unauthorized access to your account, change your password immediately.

Scan for Problems and Update Software Frequently: Run antivirus software and keep your device’s operating system and all software up to date.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your accounts in addition to your password. This usually involves something you own and control, such as your phone or email account. Adding this step makes it harder for an attacker to access your data, significantly reducing the risk of fraud, data loss, or identity theft.

Here’s What You Can Do:

• For Employers: Activate “2 Step Verification” on your JobMinglr Employer account.
• For Job Seekers and Employers: Set up 2FA on your sensitive non-JobMinglr accounts (such as bank accounts or email accounts), if this option is available.
