Stay Alert to Recruitment Scams
Alimentiv is aware of a continued increase in phishing scams, which use various methods of attack via email, text, voice and social media, including individuals posing as our recruiters and contacting candidates with fraudulent opportunities. Our hiring process always includes direct engagement with a recruiter or hiring manager, and we will never ask for sensitive personal information early in the process.
Official communication will only come from company email addresses containing "@alimentiv.com". If you are contacted about an open job at Alimentiv, please verify the domain of the sender's email address and confirm that you are being asked to apply on this website. If something doesn't feel right, we encourage you to verify before responding. If you believe you have been the victim of a phishing scam, please contact your local government cyber authority to report it.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
