Syngenta will never offer a position to a candidate over a text or telegram message, without first having a conversation over the phone or having you speak to the hiring manager for the position to which you have applied.
If you receive a Telegram text from a person stating they are with Syngenta, it is likely fraudulent, and you should report it to us immediately and not respond.
If you receive a text, telegram message, or email purporting to be from Syngenta that you believe is suspicious, please send it to us to investigate at: northamerica.talentacquisitionseeds@syngenta.com
In your email, please include:
- Name
- Email
- Phone number to contact you
DO NOT:
- Respond to the text message or email in any way
- Click any links
- Open any attachments
- Provide any data to any websites mentioned
Receiving a suspicious message typically will not put you at risk if you do not reply, click on links, or share any personal information.
