We have observed that misleading communication is being spread through certain social media channels about our hiring process. Crayon Data is a purely merit-based employer. 

Some unscrupulous agencies are alluring job aspirants with employment opportunities with Crayon Data. The phishing/scam involves extracting money as security deposit, documentation processing fees or training fees.
