Recruitment Fraud
 
February 2024 Update

CITGO is aware of an employment scam utilizing Skype and naming its Vice President Human Resources and Shared Services Kresha Sivinski. Potential employees are NEVER contacted via Skype; this is not an official hiring practice of CITGO Petroleum Corporation. If you are contacted via Skype regarding employment with CITGO, please do not engage. This is a scam.

Official communications from CITGO regarding employment will come from email addresses ending in “@CITGO.com” or “@talent.iCIMS.com.” Any e-mail about a job at CITGO or seeking information from you that does not end with “@CITGO.com” or “@talent.iCIMS.com” should not be responded to. CITGO will not seek your personal information via e-mail, chat conversations, or over Skype, and will only utilize secure means to transmit that information, if necessary.

 

It has come to our attention that unauthorized individual(s) have used the CITGO Petroleum Corporation name and logo to solicit advance fees and/or personal information from potential employment applicants about jobs that do not exist. These fake recruiters often request that the employment candidate send money to pay for residence and work permits or other processing fees; or seek personal information from the candidates, such as name, address, social security number, etc. CITGO does not ask job applicants for fees at any point in recruitment or hiring process, nor does CITGO use recruitment or placement agencies that solicit such fees. In addition, CITGO will not seek your personal information via e-mail, or chat conversations, and will only utilize secure means to transmit that information, if necessary.

Generally, these unauthorized requests or communications come via e-mail, or chat conversations, from accounts that are not associated with CITGO. All e-mail communications you receive from CITGO employees should be from an e-mail address that ends with "@citgo.com". It is best practices to investigate and make certain any sharing of information is sent to the intended party. Any e-mail about a job at CITGO or seeking information from you that does not end with "@citgo.com" should not be responded to, but can be forwarded to infosec@CITGO.com for further investigation.
