Be suspicious if you are asked to pay for training materials, processing fees, or background checks before securing a job offer. Cencora will never ask you for payment information during the hiring or onboarding process.
5.) Verify Communication Channels: Scammers often use free email services or chat platforms without providing an official company contact information. Cencora recruiters will have an email address ending in @cencora.com, @alliance-healthcare.net, @alliance-healthcare.co.uk, alliance-healthcare.fr or alliance-healthcare.ro
Remember to stay vigilant and informed about common scam tactics to reduce the risk of falling victim to fraudulent employment schemes.
