Safety Guidelines
Hire smart. Work smart.
DeafJobs.org is a connection platform — your safety depends on your own due diligence. Here's how to protect yourself.
Verify before you hire
Always request and independently confirm professional licenses, insurance, references, and credentials. DeafJobs.org does not verify any of these.
Meet in safe places
For in-person work, meet in well-lit public locations first when possible. Bring a friend. Trust your instincts.
Keep records
Use written communication (text, email, in-app) for important agreements. Save quotes, contracts, and receipts.
Watch for scams
Be wary of upfront fees, payments before work is completed, requests to wire money, or anyone refusing to verify identity or credentials.
Report a listing or user
See something unsafe, abusive, fraudulent, or in violation of our terms? Tell us. We investigate every report and remove violators.
