Recently, Marigold became aware that our company name, logo, employee names, and details of certain of our actual jobs are being used in an interview/employment offer scam. The scammers are reaching out to job seekers and asking to interview them over text or Microsoft Teams, and then via a phone call. If you have applied for a job at Marigold, it will be listed on our LinkedIn page and on this page. While Marigold does engage in passive candidate recruiting , we will never ask to conduct text-based interviews, and will never ask new employees to purchase hardware and ship it to Marigold. If you have any questions about whether or not the outreach you have received is legitimate, we welcome your inquiries at .
