Probably not. Being "shortlisted" for a placement you never sought, then told to verify your identity and beat a 24-hour deadline to apply, is the fake-recruiter template that trails big staffing brands. Confirm it by the link: ManpowerGroup's recruiters operate on manpowergroup.com and its official systems, so a message pointing to manpower-jobs.example is an impostor. ManpowerGroup places candidates for free through its own site under manpowergroup.com, any registration fee is a red flag.

Candidates who register with staffing firms are the mark, because a ManpowerGroup shortlist fits what they already expect and feels routine. The scam copies a normal placement message and adds a deadline, so the target verifies their identity before noticing the domain was manpower-jobs.example rather than manpowergroup.com.
Illustrative example of the pattern, not a real message someone received.
How to verify it yourself
- Inspect the domain, ManpowerGroup uses manpowergroup.com, not manpower-jobs.example or any variant with words added.
- Confirm the placement through an official ManpowerGroup branch or its verified site.
- A real staffing recruiter never asks you to verify your identity before registering you.
- Refuse any fee, equipment purchase, or move to WhatsApp or Telegram to lock in the role.
Common questions
is the ManpowerGroup recruiter message real
Only if it comes from a manpowergroup.com address and links to manpowergroup.com. A note pushing you to manpower-jobs.example is an impersonator using the brand.
is manpower-jobs.example an official ManpowerGroup domain
No. ManpowerGroup operates on manpowergroup.com. The jobs add-on and .top ending are hallmarks of a look-alike domain.
does ManpowerGroup shortlist people who never applied
Recruiters source candidates, but a real one directs you to manpowergroup.com or a branch, not a verify-and-apply link on a registered look-alike.
should I verify my identity for a ManpowerGroup placement before an interview
No. Verifying your identity before registration is the scam's move. Real ID checks happen through official channels after you're onboarded.
If you already responded
- Stop replying and share no ID, bank details, or payment, however normal the ask seemed.
- If you reused a password on the fake page, change it everywhere and turn on two-factor authentication.
- Report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov so the look-alike domain is recorded.
