IMPORTANT NOTICE:
We learned of a fake job offer scam where individuals are using a
company's name and branding to create emails and websites designed
to trick individuals into providing personal information because
they think they are applying for a job directly with the company.
To combat this, companies are listing their legitimate hiring sites
and communication methods. Our valid email addresses end in
@dswinc.com, @designerbrands.com and @camutogroup.com. Two examples
of non-legitimate email addresses are ones that end in
@designerbrands.info or @designerbrands.work (do not respond to
interview requests or other messages from these). If you are not
certain about a communication or an information request, a good
practice is to independently look-up a contact for the company (do
not use the contact method listed in the request) to verify that
you are contacting the right person and not being deceived. If you
want to verify a Designer Brands' related hiring request, please
send a message to TalentAcquisition@hr.designerbrands.com. Please
know we are working to do what we can to stop these scams.
