Protect Yourself from Recruitment Scams: Amgen is aware of fraudulent communications that may impersonate Amgen recruiters, employees, or recruiting partners. Official communications from Amgen will come from channels associated with the amgen.com domain. In some cases, Amgen may engage authorized third-party staffing or recruiting firms to contact candidates on our behalf. If you are contacted by a third-party recruiting firm about an Amgen opportunity, do not rely solely on the contact information provided in the message. Before sharing personal information, verify the opportunity by visiting the Amgen Careers website directly and contacting Amgen at AmgenCareers@careers.pure.cloud. You should also be informed in advance if an authorized recruiting firm will submit your resume to Amgen.

Amgen and its authorized recruiting partners will never request payment, gift cards, cryptocurrency, purchases, or banking information as part of an application or interview process. Be cautious of individuals falsely claiming to represent Amgen or an Amgen recruiting partner, and verify the authenticity of recruitment-related communications before responding.
