Here are the red flags from the email image you sent:
- Generic Role Title: "Junior to Mid level Engineer" is quite broad and doesn't specify the engineering discipline (e.g., Software, Mechanical, Electrical). Legitimate job postings are usually more specific.
- Suspicious Sender Email Address: The email address "prashant@kpg99.in" has a domain ("kpg99.in") that may not be a standard corporate domain. It's worth investigating this domain for legitimacy. Scam recruiters often use non-standard or free email domains.
- "Why is this message in spam?": The email client itself has flagged this message as similar to messages identified as spam in the past. This is a significant red flag.
- Vague Description: The description "For Junior - Mid level resources they will need PM level organization with clear communications as well hands-on skills on two client projects as the support engineer" is a bit convoluted and lacks specific details about the actual job responsibilities, technologies, or client projects. "PM level organization" is also vague for a junior to mid-level engineering role.
- "Better if lead engineer": This phrase is awkwardly phrased and doesn't quite fit the context of a job description for a junior to mid-level role. It could imply a lack of clear definition for the role.
- "We will train these people to be experts over time": While training is a positive aspect, in the context of other red flags, this can sometimes be used by scammers to lure candidates with promises that may not materialize, especially if the rest of the job description is vague.
- "Visa- No H1B": While this is legitimate information, it's sometimes highlighted by entities that are not actually equipped to handle visa/sponsorship matters properly, or it could be a filter used in broader, less targeted email blasts.
- Overall Unprofessional Formatting/Language: While not overtly terrible, the language is a bit informal and the formatting (e.g., bolding, bullet points) is basic. Some scam emails try to mimic professional correspondence but often fall short in subtle ways. The phrase "PM level organization" is also somewhat jargony without further context.
In summary, the biggest red flags are the email being flagged as spam by the email provider and the potentially non-standard sender email domain, combined with the vague job description.
