I was first contacted via email then was given directions to create a gmail account (if I didn't have one) and to add the HR Manager on Google Hangouts. My briefing and interview were both done over Hangouts. I was told about my duties/responsibilities and that I would receive a check for supplies, work equipment, and required software needed for the job. The check would come in the mail and I would need to purchase my working materials to start training. I was asked for standard application info: name, address, best way to contact. Except they didn't ask for any social or ask for a background check. I would be working from home, but I thought stuff like that was protocol. I remain hopeful that it's not a scam.

(SCAM!)I was sent an e-mail and was told to apply via google hangouts. (This is a scam) I was interviewed and the questions were fairly easy. I called Allegis after accepting the position, (which required purchasing the equipment through a check they send via mail) to see if the position is legitimate, immediately I was told this was scam.
