It has come to HPE’s attention that there has been an increase in recruitment fraud whereby scammers impersonate HPE or HPE‑authorized recruiting agencies and offer fake employment opportunities to candidates. HPE, its direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliated companies, and its authorized recruitment agencies/vendors will never charge any candidate a registration fee, hiring fee, or any other fee in connection with its recruitment and hiring process.

Candidates should verify any hiring agency claims to be working with HPE. HPE disclaims liability for any damages or claims that may result from any such communication.
